A Whole New Way To Sail
Years ago Spinnaker Sailing was very active in small boat and windsurfer sales. We've spent the last year thoroughly researching the sportboat market, painstakingly comparing and we've found two perfect lines of boats. The first is the English company, Rondar and their incredible Viper 640. The Viper offers blazing performance, affordable pricing and amazing build quality.
The second is US Yachts line of the Jim Antrim designed, California built, fast, easy and fun Ultimate 20, Antrim 27 and the NEW Antrim 25!
We believe that sailing is about having fun. It's about spending time with your friends and family doing what you love. Both rondar and US Yachts have created some unique boats designed with all of your needs in mind. Whether you love the challenge of a race, or a leisurely afternoon cruise, our boats will help you maximize your fun without compromising your wallet. Come aboard and see how this quality line of boats can show you a whole new way to sail.
Our first Viper 640 is on the way. Make sure you sail this exciting design with us soon. We are building a fleet in San Francisco Bay and offering these boats at a savings of nearly $5,000 to get things started.
We have an Ultimate 20, 'Stella' that we drysail out of Treasure Island Sailing Center and we wetsail our Ultimate 24 "Blue Bayou" out of South Beach.
We're working hard to make sure we bring you the best value for the best sportboat on the market.
We'll even help pay for you boat! Simply put your new Ultimate 20 or Antrim 25 into the fleet and we'll send you a check every month. Under the new tax laws, you can opt to expense the whole purchase off this years taxes or deduct the boat and equipment over the new 5-7 years. Have the government help pay for your fun!

| Viper 640 |
The Viper 640 is a high-performance one-design sport boat. At 21 feet long and only 748 lbs, it combines the stiffness of a keelboat with the acceleration and planning abilities of a dinghy. The design mandate was "Simple, Clean and Effective". The Viper has a precise and exhilarating feel on the helm, a spacious cockpit for 3 people, strict one-design class rules and ease of launching by ramp or hoist. Want to test drive a Viper 640? Let us know! We love to introduce people to sailing the Viper. Life is too short to sail slow boats!
Rondar Raceboats
Rondar Raceboats were appointed the class builder for the Viper 640 in late 2005. Rondar has been in business making racing sailboats continuosly since 1965. Paul Young has been President of Rondar since 1991. Rondar has earned a reputation as a pre-eminent builder of fast one-design race boats. Rondar hulls have won World championships in numerous classes including the Contender, the 420, the Fireball, the Enterprise and most notably the highly competitive 5-0-5 class. The recent victory of Jan Saugman and Morton Ramsbaeck in Adelaide means that eight out of the last ten 5-0-5 world championships have been won in a Rondar hull. Rondar's team of engineers, riggers and craftsmen have prepared boats for olympic medallists and local club champions. Their reputation for quality and technical expertise is second to none and we could not be more pleased with their work as our class builder. Rondar are based near Devizes in the county of Wiltshire, United Kingdom and produce between 200 and 250 boats a year.

| Antrim 25 |
The Antrim 25 is another fine example of Jim Antrim's world class design. The Antrim 25 offers great performance and features which can't be found on other boats of this size. The Antrim 25 is a dry, comfortable sportboat that can be raced with a crew of just three. This lightweight, trailerable boat was designed and built to standards that meet any open coastal water conditions.
The Antrim 25 offers a wide range of standard features, starting with a carbon rig (mast and boom). Its unique retractable keel, gel-coat finished surfaces, internal flotation tanks, furling jib, and Harken hardware are just a few reasons why the Antrim 25 is setting the bar for sportboats. The hull and decks are built with the finest materials – like hand laid balsa and foam cores – all with precise vacuum bagged conditions. Unidirectional carbon fiber reinforcements are used at critical load points throughout, resulting in light weight strength for hull and deck rigidity.
Designed with comfort in mind, the interior is cleverly planned without bulkheads. The cabin offers plenty of open space for storage and shelter, and is ideal for overnight accommodations. Four interior bunks, countertops, lockers, and space for a lavatory provide interior comfort and safety for family outings. Best of all, the Antrim 25 is ramp launchable, making it the ideal choice for sailors who wish to dry store or trailer their boats.
For day racing to overnight excursions, this Antrim 25 offers all the options smart sailors demand.

| Antrim 27 |
With its innovative design, the Antrim 27 is perfect for the weekend sailing enthusiast who demands both the performance of a sportboat and the overnight cruising comforts found on larger boats. The Antrim 27 is a stable, upright performer capable of handling a wide range of sailing conditions.
It will delight you as a spirited coastal adventurer; or it can be raced with a crew of four or five men or women of any age and experience. The deck-mounted articulating bowsprit allows total cockpit comfort and keeps the interior dry and uninterrupted.
With the Antrim 27, we included some of the great features found on our Ultimate 20 to create an innovative craft with lots of space and plenty of extras. The Antrim's retractable keel provides versatility for ramp launching in shallow water areas. And, with a convenient winch that can raise the keel to a draft of just 3'4", the Antrim 27 allows you to venture where shallow water is a concern.
Dry storage and trailering have become a common practice, and at just 2,600 pounds, the Antrim 27 is light and manageable, both on and off the water. Its light weight and the low trailer profile provided by its retracted keel means you can easily tow the Antrim 27 behind most 6- or 8-cylinder passenger vehicles. Smart looks and solid, world-class design and construction take the Antrim 27 to the next level.
