Sky

Sportboat Fleet

J/80

Do you want to have an exciting day blasting around the Bay with speed and smiles? The J/80 Sky in our Berkeley Sportboat Fleet is for you!

Longer, narrower, and lighter than a J/24, the J/80 is 26 feet long with a beam of just over 8 feet, and weighs only 2,900 pounds.

The jib is on a rolling furler - no hanks! This makes for quick rigging at the beginning of the day and an easy furl-up at the end of the day.

The J/80 has a larger cockpit than the J/24, but can be equally as wet. Dress appropriately!

The vessel was clean and in fine condition - very nice boat for training, well-equipped.

Captain Jeff Cathers is really cool. I had such a great time on the Farallones Day Trip. It was actually my very best day of 2020. Thank you so much for coordinating the trip.

I've taken two classes at MSS&C and was very happy with the program. This is also a great club with lots of opportunities for camaraderie and practice on the water. The boats in the fleet are fantastic and kept in tip-top shape. I highly recommend for all sailors and would-be sailors!

I would like to compliment Stan Lander for his coaching, counseling and teaching Heavy Weather Offshore Sailing. Stan was very accommodating to all of the student's interests and shared his many years of insight on handling the boat in heavy seas. I would certainly recommend Stan and this course to sheltered waters sailors. My confidence in handling a boat of this size was certainly enhanced by the experience.

I took ASA 101 with them recently. They have the best customer service I've ever seen! I mistyped my address when I signed up online so didn't receive the textbook. I called and the lady immediately sent me another copy! Everyone at the club is super friendly.
