Catalina 42' is Ready, See Inside!
Second Wind Catalina 42'
It is time to get our students behind the helm of this beauty!
Second Wind is an awesome racing, cruising, and chartering vessel for our school!
Second Wind is the newest addition to the South Coast fleet! She was generously donated by a retired student now living in the Philippines. This vessel was gifted to the Gateway Community Boating Center (GCBC) a 501c3 non-profit organization. GCBC has placed Second Wind in our Vessel Management program to be used in our sailing school, for captain and bareboat charters, club sails, and other cool excursions. Each time the boat is used, a portion of the funds generated go directly back to GCBC to support the center's community work and "Safe Boating Through Education" programs.
Second Wind is a 3 cabin, 2 head model, with traditional hoist mainsail, roller furling jib, chart plotter, autopilot and a shoal draft of 4'10". The interior is both spacious and beautiful, with a design that prioritizes comfort and livability. She is truly a great sailing vessel, and we are thrilled to welcome her to our fleet! She is now available for instruction, racing, chartering, and a variety of other adventures.

She's ready for school!
We are excited to have our students, racing crew, charterers, and South Coast family on Second Wind !

By skippering, you not only get valuable practice in planning, decision-making, docking and crew management, but you also have the opportunity to join in on the fun. As a thank-you for leading a club sail, you’ll receive a special coupon toward an upcoming club event. It’s a rewarding way to grow and keep your sailing journey moving forward!
