Our Yacht Fleet
Sail in Asia’s Fleet comprises Platus, Farr 1104’s, Corsair 28 Trimaran and 4 RIBs not to mention our 22 person Dragon Boats. The fleet is pretty big and Members and Associate Members can use many of the craft.
The Platus are all very similar and we use them for training beginners and International Regattas. They are great boats to take out for a coastal day trip or just a bit of fun in Ao Yon Bay.
The Trimaran is for the speed freaks amongst you. They can do over 20 knots on a windy day but are a delight for local journeys or weekend sailing. They can be parked right on the beach!
The Farr 1104’s are the greatest training yachts I’ve ever used. Superb balance and feel, fast but not overwhelming and a delight for demonstrating controls and technique. They are superb day boats with easy access to the water for snorkelling or picnics ashore.
Our big RIB is used mainly for RIB Master training but can be rented out too for family excursions to beaches on nearby islands.
