Premium Sportboat Fleet
J/88

Looking for a rewarding performance experience in a sailboat that also passes the family and friends sailing test? Meet Fly, a 29-foot J/88 Speedster and the first of our Premium Sportboat Fleet. Fast, fun, stable, and featuring a secure cockpit, inboard diesel engine, and overnighting interior, the J/88 delivers all the exhilaration of performance sailing along with some basic cruising comforts to expand your range and possible itineraries.

The J/88 is responsive to steering and trim and is easy to handle. The traditional mainsail and furling jib can be deployed in minutes, all lines lead aft to the cockpit, and the primary winches are within reach of the helm. A deck-stepped carbon fiber mast, a 6.5-foot fixed lead bulb keel, and balanced, efficient hull form optimize a smooth ride and provide exceptional stability and control, even in challenging conditions. In light breezes, the J/88's low drag and high aspect sail plan supply the efficiency and power to sail on when others will have to motor. 

Below deck, the J/88 features a simple but functional layout with cabin lighting, two full-length settee berths, a private head, and comfortable seating for four. Along with a navigation station, mini-galley, and a large cooler near the companionway, these features expand your options to include longer day sails, overnights, and weekends. For day sails, her crew comfort capacity is 6.

    I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.

    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 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!
