The Fleet

The OWSA Fleet:

The OWSA fleet is an important part of our club in helping with our mission to help more women learn to sail and keep them on the the water. We use these boats for our BOAST Program, Wednesday Night Sails, on-the-water classes and more.

Calypte

Calypte is for sale.  She is an Ericson 27 masthead rigged sloop. It boasts a roomier interior with up to 5 berths and more head room, but still has a tiller and outboard to be familiar for women who have learned on the other boats in our fleet.

If you are interested in Calypte , read more information here.

River Rose

River Rose is a 1983 Catalina 27, with an inboard motor and a comfortable v-berth, a kitchen and head for comfortable overnight stays on the river.

With the addition of this boat to our fleet in 2026, OWSA is super excited to be able to offer a BOAST experience more tailored toward women who are interested in (somewhat) larger keelboats intended for cruising.

Salud

Salud is a Kent Ranger 20, These are just plain fun and easy little keelboats that were manufactured in Kent Washington in the late 1970s. Portland has a great Ranger 20 racing fleet and community, so there is plenty of help for any questions that come up around these boats and plenty of competitors to race against. It is also great that we at OWSA can apply our learned sailing skills and maintenance knowledge to both boats.

Kermit

Kermit is also a Kent Ranger 20, and as you might have guessed is green. OWSA is grateful to Tom and Corrine Tate who donated her. They are happy that Kermit will become a learning vessel where she will help women build skills and will continue to be sailed.

I will post a picture when I get a good one.
