Thinking of buying a sailboat to use at the PVYC?
Talk to a PVYC sailor first! The river at the PVYC is too shallow for fixed keel sailboats. Shoal keel and
centerboard sailboats do best. In the dinghy class, lasers,sunfish and the O'Day 16' day sailer do well. Andy
Piccus took the 2010 dinghy club championship with an O'Day 16. Member Ollie Wallock took the dinghy class
championship for several years with his 13' laser. In the cruiser class, Bill Collins took the club championship
with a 19' Mariner. Other similar swing keel sloops with kick up rudders do well. Tom and Sue Martins held
the cruiser class championship for several years with their 26' MacGregor (with water ballast and dagger
board)
