Sonars are one-design keelboats that are also comfortable day sailors. They easily hold 3 to 5 people. Our Sonar is the perfect vessel to learn the basics of sailing, as well as racing and sailing tactics. Moored in East Ferry, lessons will be offered this upcoming summer, where new and experienced sailors alike can explore Narragansett Bay!
