Club Boats

The EBC fleet consists of eight (8) Flying Scots sailboats, one (1) Ultima 20 sail boat and the EBC IV boat club motor work boat.

Once students have successfully passed the appropriate sailing courses and receive their EBC Skipper’s Card, they are eligible to use the club Flying Scott sailboats for personal use. The boats are maintained by our members and these boats are available for the member’s enjoyment.

• Procedure for using EBC owned boats

Many members enjoy the exhilaration of competitive sail racing among Club members and large area wide regattas with hundreds of competitors.

Enjoy sailing on the Detroit River without the costs of owning your own boat!
