Catalina 250

If you’re looking for one of the best-equipped Catalina 250s available, this is it.

This boat is fully sorted, well maintained, and ready to sail today—no major projects, no waiting for a marina slip, and no expensive upgrades needed.

The wheel steering offers a comfortable “big boat” feel and is a significant upgrade over a tiller, especially for cruising with family and friends.

A transferable slip at Scorpion Bay Marina is included, eliminating one of the biggest challenges of boat ownership at Lake Pleasant.

Chance to buy a NEW Fireball!

The Fireball is a two person, high performance dinghy like you have never sailed before. They are slightly overpowered, which is countered by the crew hanging in a trapeze. Fireballs drive like a sports car. The boat is sensitive to every move of the rudder by the helm. Pure sailing pleasure, but barely on the edge. Make a mistake, and they will flip over. Then you easily right them back up and take off again.

A plan is being formed for a shipping container of new Fireballs to be shipped to the US after sailing at the Fireball World Championships in Torquay, England. There’s room for more boats in the container! After the Worlds, the Brits will put together a list of 14500-15200 series Fireballs that are for sale. These boats will range from $3,000-$30,000 for a brand new Weathermark. The boats will be gathered in November in England, packed into a container, and shipped to the US. The plan is to land the container at Lake Pleasant next February in time for the Arizona Yacht Club’s annual three-day Birthday Regatta.

If you’re interested in hearing more details, contact Clay Poulson through our Contact Page. More information about the Fireball can be found on the Fireball International website or the Fireball USA Facebook page.

Classic 1957 Thistle

Hull #1075 is a 1957 W.D. Schock-built Thistle — cold-molded wood, hand-varnished, and as beautiful out of the water as she is on it. She was built in an era when American sailboat craftsmanship set the standard, and she has been maintained to honor that heritage. All rigging is updated and in good working condition. She comes with two complete sets of sails and a 1977 EZ Load trailer — everything you need to be on the water, or on the road to a regatta, the day you take ownership.
