Our fleet

We have an active fleet of eleven J/22s. These popular keelboats are nimble and fun to sail for all skill levels. J/22 has a comfortable self-bailing cockpit with 7 ft. long seats and room for 4-6 people. We use the J/22s in our racing program, member sails, and summer camp. They are very popular with our skipper members for private reservations, as well.

We maintain a fleet of 9 Sonars. They have spacious cockpits and high sides, making this boat ideal for beginners and for comfortable daysailing. We use this fleet for our community outreach programs, adaptive sailing program, Young Mariners, and for lessons.

We keep 10 Hansa (Access) 303W dinghies, 10’ boats that can be sailed double- or single-handed, with a crew capacity of 350 pounds. The low cockpit seat and weighted centerboard create a low center of gravity, making the boat virtually uncapsizable. The layout makes this sailboat highly accessible. While these boats are used primarily for our adaptive sailing programs and Hansa Racing Team, crew level members can use these boats even if they are not skippers. Beginner sailors can command their own ships in a matter of minutes with these fun, easy to use boats.

The Hansa 303 W fleet is only available for use April - October.

The DSC also maintains a fleet of cruising boats for our cruising education program.  The boats generally range from 30' - 40' and have inboard diesel engines.  Skippers and crew that have purchased the Cruising upgrade can participate in events such as full moon sails and overnight trips around the Chesapeake Bay.
