Let CSA help you learn to sail...

Each different type or class of boat will normally form a fleet. For instance, the Flying Scot fleet is obviously dedicated to enjoying the Flying Scot day sailor. The fleets conduct a multitude of organized functions throughout the year, both during the sailing season and during the winter months. Most fleets hold meetings and function throughout the off season so please visit our Fleets page for contacts and more information each fleet.

For those interested in the thrill, speed and exhilaration of hiking out on a catamaran or just want to have a ton of fun getting wet, contact Dave Leimbach or Joe Leonard of the Catamaran Fleet.

If you prefer more of the relaxing experience cruising Lake Carlyle in a cabin boat, please contact Denny Taylor of the Cabin Boat Fleet or Cal Guthrie of the San Juan Fleet. Many other makes, models and types of boats are sailed at CSA and you are invited to contact Dave Leimbach for questions regarding boats not listed elsewhere.
