Fleets
Interlake Fleet No. 6
Formed in 1940, PLYC's Interlake Fleet No. 6 is a member of the Interlake Sailing Class Association. The Fleet has remained very active over the decades. (See our History page for more information.)
​
Commissioned by the Sandusky Sailing Club in 1933, Francis Sweisguth designed the 18' Interlake
as a sloop rigged sailing dinghy offering stability, performance and comfort. It is also relatively simple to rig and sail. A popular class among Midwest sailors, the Interlake singlehands well, and is usually raced by two to three people. It can also accommodate four or more on a relaxing day sail.
Snipe Fleet No. 110
PLYC's Snipe Fleet No. 110 was formed in 1939 and boasts a proud history in racing circles. (See our History page.)
​
The Snipe is one of the largest, oldest and most popular one-design classes in the world. Intending it for home building, William Crosby designed the Snipe in 1931 as a 15-1/2' racing dinghy with a hard chine hull and two-person capacity. It has long been a boat of choice for teaching novices the art of sailing and rigging, and for fine-tuning racing strategies and tactics among more experienced sailors. Of course, its contribution to recreational sailing nationwide and around the world cannot be overstated.
