Memberships
Rhodes 19 Core Fleet
The Rhodes 19 is backbone of the Courageous fleet with 27 Stewart-made keelboats and counting. Stable and easy to handle, they offer a fun, comfortable sailing experience for sailors of all calibers, from novices to seasoned one-design racers.
Mid-Fleet Cruising
If fast, friendly, easy-to-sail boats and Harbor Island cruising are calling your name, this is the membership for you! The Mid-Fleet Cruising membership gives you access to our four J80s and a Tanzer.
Cruising
For many, the Cruising Membership is the most coveted membership tier. The cruising fleet gets you out farther, faster, and for longer. Our 5 30'-35' boats have at least 2 berths and a head aboard, allowing you to cruise in comfort. Take a day trip to a harbor island or pick up a mooring for a night at sea. Memberships go quickly, so get yours before they are gone!

Intermediate Sailing
Ready to get out on some larger boats? Or maybe sail a little faster? We have some great deals on courses that will introduce you to performance sailing.
Meet the J80 is our aptly named, one-day clinic that will help you either get comfortable on a different boat after learning to sail on our Rhodes 19s or show you how to introduce this sportboat to others. Also discounted for Black Friday, our Mid-Fleet Performance 1 course will give you a firm foundation in Performance Sailing as well as prepare you to take our Mid-Fleet Cruising checkout.
Cruising Courses
Everything you need to sail bigger boats with confidence! All courses are taught on one of our cruising boats, ranging from 30' to 35'. Start with the basics-- we recommend the First Mate course!--then work your way up to becoming Bareboat certified and ready to take on a week in a chartered cruising boat down south next winter.
Private Sails, Cruises, and Additional Sailing Courses
Whether you're looking for an intimate date night far away from the crowds or a customized lesson to brush up on your skills, we've got you covered. Join us for 2 hours on the water in 2021, and we promise you'll leave stress and worry on the dock.
