Each August, more than 100 small craft go up for sale at Longshore Sailing School. The “Annual Fleet Turnover Sale, ” which began August 3rd, provides the community with a nice opportunity to get a used boat at a good price, and allows the school to maintain a fleet of new or nearly new boats year after year.

Locals know, the kayaks and paddleboards always sell out quickly. In fact, the kayak racks at Compo Beach are full of former Longshore Kayaks now enjoyed by private owners in Westport.

This year, there are some good deals available on catamarans. Hobie Getaways range from $2790 to $5990, and Hobie Waves start at $2990. As always, a huge fleet of Lasers with brand new sails are available. They’re always popular for sailors looking to get into frostbiting at Cedar Point.
