Communications and Navigation
Join the co-op and come aboard
Our fleet consists of four 27 foot Catalina sailboats.
They’re great for day sailing and cruising throughout the Gulf
Islands and Desolation Sound.
Each boat features 2 or 3 sails, a motor, a galley, head, and berths for sleeping.
Well-built and sturdy fiberglass hulls with deep
keels make Catalina 27s
very safe.
Each boat has a marine radio, depth sounder and chart plotter, plus paper charts.
Set up for day sailing & cruising,
all these boats need is for
you to join and come aboard.
