WBYC Sailors - Fleets

(Click on the above links to go to the individual fleet pages.)

The X Boat is a hard-chined, pointed bow, center-board boat whose design makes it a safe training boat for younger sailors. Many sailors in the Upper Midwest got their start in the X fleet. It is the only non-scow design that is governed by the Inland Lake Yachting Association (ILYA). It is raced by girls and boys up to 16 years of age although at one time White Bear had a strong fleet of Adult X racers. The class drew over 130 participants to White Bear Lake for the 2000 Championship Regatta.
