Boats:
Optimist Dinghies
An Opti is the most popular one-design sailboat in the WORLD! More than that, it’s a great boat for kids to learn in. Many of the world’s best sailors started out in Optis. Optis are best for kids up to 15 under or close to 100lbs. Learn more at www.usoda.org
Lasers
The Laser is one of the most popular single-handed dinghies in the world. There are three different sizes of sails administered by the International Laser Class Association. Sailors start out with the 4.7 rig, move to a Radial sail, and men will move into the Standard full. The Laser is a very athletic boat and competes in the Olympics.

Club 420s
420s are a 14 foot double-handed racing sailboat. Club 420s are the standard boat for high school and college competition. These boats are lots of fun and can be sailed with spinnakers and trapeze once the basics are mastered. If you’re adventurous and don’t mind getting wet (or flipping), try a 420. Check out Club 420s.

Dear Sir:
I am interested in participating on the club 420 race team. I have sailed on the coast of Maine every summer since I was 5 years old. I have been racing 420′s since 2008. I am now a sailing instructor during the summer in Maine. I would like to continue to race 420′s here in Colorado. I am available Saturdays and Sundays beginning in April through October. I will; however, be out of town from July 1, 2011 through August 15, 2011.
Would you please contact me at the above email to inform me how I may participate on the Race Team. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Henry Bowditch
