Charter Boats

A limited number of Charter Boats are available from O’pen Skiff USA on a first come/first serve

need a charter boat, and we’ll get you on the preliminary list. All boats come complete and ready to
sail and have fun, with the One Design 4.5m sail. Charter reservations will have final confirmation
only when charter fee is paid and the sailor is registered for the event. Here are the reservation

The charter boat deadline for North Americans is likely March 30, 2024, but we may run out
well before then. Charter boats are available for sale at substantial discount following the event by
advance reservation. Additional fleet discounts are available. Contact nsayre@aol.com.
