Racing...cruising...learning to sail...
Whatever your priority, the Albacore is the right choice for you!


With over 8,000 boats worldwide the Albacore is clearly one of the most popular dinghies available today. Loaded with features, the Albacore boasts quality workmanship and strong class association support. Few centerboard sailboats available today are as versatile as the Albacore.

Yacht clubs, sailing schools and community sailing clubs have long chosen the Albacore for their junior and adult training programs. In fact, many of the top sailors in North America learned to sail in an Albacore.

The United States Albacore Association supports Albacore Fleets and activities here in the states. Sanctioned events run from March until October. The class association provides a lot of benefits including a regularly published newsletter, seminars, regattas (including regional, national, North American, and world championships), and support of local fleets. Another benefit of a strong class associations is a strong market for used boats. The United States Albacore Association is dedicated to keeping the Albacore sailing fun and affordable.

2008 Albacore North Americas, Rock Hall, Maryland, May 17/18



Start your season off at the North American Championship. This is guaranteed to be one of the best events of the year. It will be held at the Rock Hall Sailing Club on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, just north of the Bay Bridge. Rock Hall is a wonderful venue with great club facilities and lots of room for in expensive camping on site. Centrally located between the Washington, New Jersey and West River Fleets, we are expecting a strong turn out. Participation from CAN and USA teams will allow you to renew friendships and make it a truly continental event. But don't be intimidated by the title…all the "regulars" will be out and the social side of the event will make it fun for all.
