X Boats
2025 X Boat Classes
Days: Mondays and Wednesdays
Dates: June 16 - Aug 6
with no class on 7/1 or 7/3 due to holiday
races will be held Wednesday afternoons during class
Time: 1 - 4:30 pm
Price: $400 for skipper, $400 for crew;
Note: This price does not include an X boat. A limited number of X boats are available to rent on a first-come, first-served basis. When the skipper registers for the full summer X boat class they should also select the X boat rental item. The separate X boat rental fee is $450 for the full summer (Memorial Day through Labor Day) so X boat sailors can also participate in NLYC races.
An X boat is a 16-foot sailboat sailed by a skipper and a crew. This class is for the 11 - 16 year old sailor who is interested in learning to sail a two person boat. Prior sailing experience is not necessary, as sailors will learn the basics of boat handling. Once a comfort level is achieved, sailors will be introduced to racing.
If you are interested in X boats, but don’t have a partner to sail with, please contact us at northlakesailing@gmail.com. We often have skippers looking for crew.
X Boat sailors interested in racing beyond class time are invited to join the North Lake Yacht Club as junior members and participate in Wednesday night, Saturday morning, and Sunday morning races. Email northlakesailing@gmail.com if you'd like more information.
