Fleet Captains: David Mohring, Linda Huffland-Mohring



"The Ensign is the largest class of full keel sailboats in North America, with over 2000 boats manufactured since 1962... As a family day sailor, the Ensign has a large, deep cockpit, with enough room to comfortably seat six to eight adults. As a day sailor, the Ensign is a really enjoyable performer... The Ensign is 22 and 1/2 feet long, weighs about 3,000 pounds, and is best raced with a crew of four... Favored by former dinghy sailors and cruisers alike, it has no life lines and therefore many dinghy techniques (hiking, roll tacking, etc) can be used effectively. Racing is very close, strategic and tactical, with older boats performing just as well as the newer ones."
