Fleet

Our current fleet consists of a broad range of boats designed to make sailing and boating fun and affordable for our varied instructional classes and membership interests. CBC instructors will evaluate the skills and experience of each student, considering factors like size and agility, in determining which boat and group is most appropriate for you.

CBC instructors typically teach onboard beginner boats until the students have progressed to a point where the instructor can teach from a safety/powerboat. Advanced classes allow instructors to encourage sailing independence by teaching from safety/powerboats almost exclusively.

If you would like to donate a boat to CBC, please contact the Director at 401-454-7245 or info@communityboating.com. Boats on our list are always needed and welcome!

Paddleboards

Paddleboards

Our 11’ BIC SUPs offer an ultra-stable platform equally suited for first-timers, family fun, fitness, yoga, or whatever your next SUP adventure may be. The unique ‘hybrid’ design features a keeled nose for excellent tracking and full rail-to-rail volume for enhanced stability.

Kayaks

Our new single and double sit-on-top kayaks offer great stability, ease of use, and minimal training to get you or your family out on the water fast. With no enclosed cockpit, paddlers do not need to learn the “Eskimo roll” or worry about pumping out accumulated water after an accidental flip. Sit-on-tops are the preferred choice of beginner paddling programs.

RS Quest

RS Quest

The new RS Quest was developed specifically as a training boat. It features a self-draining cockpit and a super-stable hull to give maximum security and safety. It feels considerably bigger than its size with a large cockpit for up to four – great for training and family sailing.

RS Zest

The 11’ RS Zest delivers the stability of a much larger boat. Easy to single hand for adults, with room for 2-3 youth, the RS Zest is an ideal solution for camps, club programs, and families. This is a boat to get kids & adults onto the water and into the wonderful world of sailing.

Laser Pico

Laser Pico

The Laser Pico is a fun, durable, confidence inspiring, roto-molded boat that can be sailed by everyone. It’s ideal for entry-level sailors and is equipped with a removable jib and reefing main sail for easy rigging.

Hobie Wave

Hobie Wave Catamaran

The Hobie Wave is an easy- to-sail, easy-to-rig speedster that will have you smiling. Fun for the family and exciting for the juniors while forgiving enough for the newly initiated, the Hobie Wave is the ideal must-go-sailing-now catamaran.

Laser

Laser & Laser Radial

The 14’ Laser is the most popular single-handed, one-design dinghy. The Laser class was built on the philosophy that the sailor wins the race, not the boat. The Laser Radial is the perfect boat for smaller sailors who don’t quite have the size to handle a full Laser rig. The Radial uses a standard Laser hull and blades, but a smaller sail.

Hunter 216

Hunter 216 Keelboat

The 22’ Hunter 216 is truly a fun boat to sail. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned skipper, you will appreciate this stable, forgiving, and innovative sport boat. The large cockpit offers crew comfort and allows easy access to effortless hydraulic lifting of a 500 lb. swing keel. Due to fully booked scheduling, H216 keelboats are used in our youth outreach programs only.

Maine Cat 30

Maine Cat 30 Catamaran

Our Maine Cat 30 “Sundance” serves as the flagship for use in our inner-city outreach programs and adult keelboat classes. This new “outdoor classroom” was generously donated by CBC supporters who recognized the potential of the vessel to change the lives of CBC youth sailors.
