Fleet of Sonars at the lakefront.

Sonar

The Sonar is a 23ft keelboat featuring a large open cockpit and 900lb lead keel that make it roomy and stable for day sailing, racing, and adaptive sailing. Designed by Bruce Kirby, who is perhaps most famous for designing the Laser dinghy, there have been over 800 boats constructed and used boats remain rare due to the popularity of the design. Sonars are a popular choice for community boating programs, instruction, and adaptive sailing. Part of the success of the class is due to its inclusion in the Paralympic Games. SEAS owns and maintains nine Sonars for use in instruction, adaptive sailing and for high level match racing events. Click here to learn about our Adaptive Sonar.

J24

International Class For Everyone, Anytime, Anywhere. Age 12 to 80, no matter what’s your style: racing, day sailing or cruising. Her flared topsides make her dry on deck. Her "weekender" cabin makes it possible to get warm on cold days and she can be sailed easily by 2 people with only the mainsail.

tartan 4000

NorthStar is our Tartan 4000. It’s a 40ft cruising boat, with a galley, sleeping cabins, toilet and shower. We offer charter cruises on it, where you can sit back and relax while our Captain and Crew sail the boat. This boat has done 3 Chicago Mac races and will be on the starting line again this summer.
