Built in 1969, with a major refit completed in 2015 and improvements every season, our 60′ custom ketch, s/v Libra, has logged tens of thousands of miles and successfully completed rigorous sea trials. Libra has circumnavigated the globe twice so far in her life, and she is still as fast, powerful, and comfortable as ever.  Because of her hull design, length, and weight, she performs like a rocket on the water, hitting double-digit speeds in conditions lighter vessels would find difficult. Libra was built to be a fast and efficient sailing machine and she has maintained those attributes through her more recent upgrades.

​

We have made new friends and acquired new skills through our travels, taking part in events and races along the way, and we are ready to share the offshore voyaging experience with you.

Learn offshore sailing!

JOIN A SAIL ON KAI

We are proud to announce that S/V Kai will be joining the Sail Libra Fleet! Kai is a custom built by Wellington yachts in Florida in the early 80's.   Built with an eye for creature comforts, this 72-foot yacht provides a luxurious setting for your sailing instruction. Kai’s sleek design allows her to slip into shallow waters, drawing only six feet, but has a centerboard to create the perfect offshore sailing machine. On anchor, this gives adventurers a prime location for anything from photography to snorkeling and beach excursions. You won't find a better and safer yacht for your voyages.

What can we do for you?
