Our Boats

Sailing is an excellent sport for all age groups, and Emirates Sailing School has a wide range of boats to accommodate everyone. The craft we have are Optimist, Topper, Laser, Laser 2, and Hobie Catamarans.

The Optimist is an international class, which is designed specifically for children and is a great boat for beginners. There is also a highly competetive racing fleet, with children competing from as young as six.

Topper



The award winning Topper has probably introduced more people into sailing tha any other boat. It's fun, easy to handle, and an ideal boat for adults and children alike.

Laser 1

The laser is a single handed racing dinghy. A very popular boat with a huge following around the world. The sail size can be changed to suit the weight if the sailor, creating three classes, the laser 4.7, laser radial, and the laser 1.

Laser II

The laser II is a popular double handed racing boat. Although light it has both a spiniker and trapeeze wires: this makes it an exciting boat to sail and race.

hobie 16

The Hobie 16 is a two man catamaran. Although the twin hulls provide a stable platform for learning, the thrills of 'Cat' sailing are truly experienced when she's fully rigged and flying. If you are looking for speed this is the type of boat you'll be after.
