The Long Beach Sailing Club hosts Hekowi, a  CT 47 open ocean outfitted ketch.  This vessel is optimized for long passages in comfort, as well as being host to our advanced cruising sailing classes.  The CT 47 requires appropriate training or an onboard crew member during operation, but she can be crewed to Catalina, and then the crew can ferry home, leaving the passengers to enjoy the island alone until the return passage.  Hekowi  has three double berths, two single berths and two heads, both including showers, and yes, she is named for the Indian tribe in F-Troop that occasionally got lost.

                           

Lean Machine is our 65 racing sloop.  Designed and built by MacGregor in Costa Mesa, the goal was to produce a yacht that could be campaigned against million dollar custom vessels, be reasonably affordable, maintainable, and have typical interior accomodations.  The result is the MacGregor 65.  With a waterline of 62 feet plus, a semi fin keel with a bulb at 9 feet, Lean machine can be handled by a minimal crew and can easily exceed 10 knots on a typical day between Alamitos Bay and Catalina.  The 65 requires a captain onboard during all sailing, and requires a second crew member for spinnaker use.  Lean Machine is long and lean and lively and can be chartered for medium distance races with appropriate training.
