RS Venture

The Venture is a roomy trainer which is faster than it looks. These larger dinghies are workhorses during our lessons and open houses. Each boat is rigged for single trapeze and asymmetrical spinnaker. CSC has four of these boats.

RS Quest

We currently have eight Quests in the fleet. Designed by Jo Richards, Quests were designed to be the best small training boat available for beginners, and have trapezes and asymmetrical spinnakers for more advanced sailors.

RS Toura

The latest addition to our dinghy fleet, it's essentially a stretched Quest. Also designed by Jo Richards, it will allow us to tke more students out at a time. We have two of them, and we will be testing them and deciding the right mix of Quests and Touras for basic dinghy training.

Laser

The Laser is perhaps the best known one-person cat-rigged racing dinghy. While no longer an Olympic class boat there is a substantial fleet raced out of the Richmond marina. These boats are fairly complicated to rig and require special instruction before they can be checked out. CSC has two Lasers.

JY15

The JY15 is a nimble dinghy that is ideal for two sailors. CSC has ten of these boats, rigged with trapeze gear, reefing mainsails, and masthead floats.

RS500

The RS500 is a high performance two-person skiff, equipped with asymmetrical spinnaker and a trapeze (one of our RS500s has a double-trapeze). CSC has two of these beauties, and each comes with two choices of sail size. These boats require a special checkout and a Senior rating.

RS800

The RS 800 is a double-handed, light-weight, high-performance skiff with adjustable side rakes, a carbon rig and huge sail area. It is a modern dinghy skiff, considered a trainer by most and a little sister to the 49er and i14. The club is fortunate to have one of these graciously donated by local skiff sailor John Clark.
