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.

    Here are some snaps of Our Saturday, August 20, 2022 Modern Sailing Expedition with Captain Robert Bivin, who was outstanding. Please convey photos and thanks to him. He is an outstanding individual, leader and sailing instructor. His knowledge and experience made us all feel safe and our Farallones Day Trip educational and just amazing.

    I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.

    The Full Moon Sail with Skipper Bob Gutsgell was Ah-Mayzing!! The group dynamic was lovely and the views spectacular. I can't say enough good things about the experience. Thanks so much for the wonderful Club Sails, they are really great.

    I would definitely recommend Modern Sailing to anyone who is interested in learning to sail the right way.

    The class was terrific. I know you must get many compliments about your sailing instructors...But I must tell you that Robert is outstanding. Having taught SCUBA, I really appreciate the way he is so sensitive to all on board, dealing with each so well, knowing quickly their strengths and weaknesses making each feel special and cared for.
