Intermediate Youth and Adult Introduction to Sailing classes are taught using our fleet of three Transfusion 547s. The Transfusion is a light, stable, 16-foot family day sailor with mainsail and jib. It is a great training boat, but is also sensitive and challenging for the more experienced sailor and can carry a spinnaker. The Transfusions are typically sailed with a crew of three or four.
