The Albacore is the Clubs largest one-design double-handed dinghy fleet. There are currently 20 Albacores at NSC with 8-12 boats out regularly for dinghy racing, one of the largest Albacore fleets in Canada.
The Albacore is a fast and lively boat while being relatively easy to learn to sail and race. Swept spreaders supporting a tapered mast with a powerful vang and adjustable sail controls allow a crew to depower in high winds. A very versatile boat, it is often sailed by husband/wife and parent child combinations. The Albacore is a boat that is both simple to get into, and one which will challenge your tuning and tactical skills for the rest of your life.
