Boating is not only an american past time but a human past time. Sailing boats around the world, for a holiday trip, or to wage war, to find new territory.

Boats are up for charter most of the time, whether you want a boat for racing, a charter boat for fishing, or just charting boating.

Sailing yachts either around the world or within your own shores is an excitement that can not be explained in words, living by the winds and the current is daring to say the least.

Charting a luxury yacht is a gavorite of the weathy, and if given the opportunity something that should be done

Racing happens all over Lake Champlain. Don't let inexperience stop you! If you want to learn how to race, contact one of the race organizers below, they will be glad to give you a hand.

There are midweek evening races, weekend races, marathons, one design races, dinghy races, handicap races, junior races and collegiant racing. During the winter there is ice boat racing... something for everybody at every level.

Keep in mind that you don't need to own a boat to enjoy racing. Crew is always in demand.
