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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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