X Boat

The X or "Cub" boat is governed by the Inland Lake Yachting Association. It is a hard-chined, pointed bow, center-board boat that was designed primarily as a safe and uncomplicated trainer for beginning sailors and racers. Over the years, this same basic design has provided thousands of sailors with their start in the sport, and it continues to be the predominant club racer in the Midwest for boys and girls up to 16 years of age.
