The Y-Flyer is a high performance racing machine!  Yes, she is a forgiving sailboat allowing a variety of people to handle her.  From children to grandparents, sailors enjoy the screaming reaches on the Y-Flyer that other crafts cannot achieve. But she's also fun for just a lazy day of goofing around . . .

My father began building his first Y-Flyer in 1960 when I was two years old, and now my wife and children crew for me.  You too can enjoy the excitement and fun of sailing a Y-Flyer!

Take a look at the rest of the pages here to help you "Discover the Y-Flyer."  But the virtual tour can only go so far!  Please send me an e-mail letting me know where you live and I'll arrange for you to go out on the water with a local Y-Flyer sailor.
