The Castine Yacht Club's ever growing fleet of recreational and instructional watercraft is in excellent shape for the 2009 season. The Club Whalers have had an extensive and much needed winter reviving. They look wonderful! The Club has two 13' foot Boston Whalers intended for instructional use. Having two has allowed instructors to divide groups of students for more individual attention and has provided an additional measure of safety in the event of an accident. This also has allowed members to load or unload their boats when the dock is too full for landing. The fleet of eight Turnabouts allows the instructors to field even teams for team racing and allows more beginning students to participate in club racing. The Elizabeth B. is in fine shape. She remains a formidible contender in the various Castine Class races held during the season.
