Our Fleet

​The Diamond Lake Sailing School fleet is tailored to accommodate sailors of various skill levels. Our fleet includes:

  • Optimist Sailboats (Opti's): The cornerstone of our beginner training, perfect for young sailors learning the ropes.

  • Sunfish Sailboats: Ideal for single-handed sailing, offering a step up for those progressing from Opti's.

  • 420 Sailboats: These double-crewed boats provide advanced sailors with the opportunity to refine their skills and teamwork.

  • Butterfly Sailboat: A unique addition to our fleet, offering a different sailing experience.
