Do you know how to sail and wish to sail the Southcoast, but do not want the cost of purchasing, launching/hauling, storing and maintaining a sailboat?  If so, come take advantage of CBC’s Sail Southcoast Rental Program.  Renting from CBC is both affordable and hassle free.  Become certified to sail an array of CBC boats in different wind conditions.  All sailors are required to complete a CBC rental agreement and pass a check-out sail to ensure sailors’ and the boats’ safety.  CBC’s rental fleet consists of Sonars, Beetle Cats, Catalina Capris, and Rhodes 19s.  Youth & Adult classes take preference over boats.  Must be 18 years old or older to rent a boat.

An annual on-the-water checkout by a member of CBC's staff is required.  The check out is typically done right before you rent the first time, and is our chance to see that you have sufficient skills to sail the boat safely and appropriately in the conditions, as well as to familiarize you with our boats and the sailing area.  To be checked out in each condition sailors must demonstrate an understanding of rigging, departing, upwind sailing, tacking, jibing, getting out of irons, returning to a mooring and de-rigging.

Your reservation guarantees payment unless you cancel at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled rental time, you do not pass the required check-out sail, or if CBC's staff determines that weather conditions warrant cancellation.
