Chinook

Gold Fleet
J/105

Chinook is a J/105 in our Sausalito Gold Fleet. Prepare for an exhilarating sail aboard this meticulously upgraded J/105. Chinook boasts a suite of upgrades that seamlessly blend high performance with effortless handling. With a deep fin keel (draft of 6.5 feet) and responsive design, Chinook delivers the thrilling experience these boats are renowned for.

The spacious cockpit is large, protected by a dodger, to ensure comfort and visibility. The intuitive layout and upgraded rigging, including a slab reefing system and 10:1 low-friction outhaul, make her remarkably easy to handle. Whether you're trimming the main from the oversized wheel, engaging the autopilot for effortless sailing shorthanded, or enjoying a picnic at anchor, Chinook promises an unforgettable adventure.

The roller-furling jib and inboard engine add simplicity to sailing the J/105. Like the J/24, the J/105 offers the usual sail-shaping controls like the cunningham, outhaul, and adjustable backstay. Below deck, you'll find all the essentials for a comfortable day on the water: comfortable settees, a marine head, VHF radio, and B&G electronics.

Chinook is more than just a boat; she's an invitation to experience the pure joy of sailing.

    The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

    The meeting room was quite adequate and the location most convenient, but the course outline and instruction were outstanding. Modern Sailing is fortunate to have such a well organized instructor in Mr. Stan Lander who teaches very well from a rich professional background. Mr. Lander was generous with his time and patiently in helping students who needed more attention or time in understanding various aspects of the curriculum.

    I try to get out on the water every week: out the Gate, around Angel, up Raccoon - I love it all. After 18 years as a member of OCSC in Berkeley, I learned to sail the bigger boats at Modern by taking ASA 103 and 104. My ASA 104 instructor Dave Russell was terrific. Also, Captain Bill Moreland has been very generous in giving informal advice whenever I’ve asked him. Thanks to Bill, I no longer have any anxiety about docking!

    The office staff was very accommodating in meeting my availability.

    I love sailing in the San Francisco Bay and greatly appreciate everything that MSC has to offer, the classes, clinics, club sails, racing and charters. I enjoy our supportive sailing community and use every opportunity to spend time on the water. After obtaining the certifications from MSC I did my first charter in Croatia in 2022 with my family. It was amazing and we’re looking forward to returning soon!
