Sailing Vessel Bernard

Bernard, our 36 ft. sailboat built by Catalina Yachts in 2004, is a classic cruising design perfect for sailing on the Great Lakes. Configured for singlehanded sailing, she has competed in many long-distance solo races; the latest of which was the 2015 Solo Mac. (Ask Captain Mike about the Pickle Flag!) 

The largest sailboat in our fleet, Bernard has plenty of room for a group of six to spread out and relax. She features a comfortable cabin for relaxing out of the sun, a large forward deck perfect for sunbathing or watching fireworks, and a roomy cockpit (Check out the Rock Star seats!). With a refrigerator for keeping food and beverages cold and speakers in the cockpit for enjoying your favorite music, Bernard is equipped to cater to your needs.​
