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.

    Every aspect of Modern Sailing - training, syllabus, course materials, quality of the boats, quality of the instructors, and the very friendly and helpful staff - exceeded my expectations. Modern Sailing has a first class sailing program in an environment with challenging winds and currents. I look forward to coming back to charter a boat and certainly plan to continue my sailing training.

    Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

  • Steve Hood, Basic Coastal Cruising

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

    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!

    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.
