Trainers

With each American made training boat that McLaughlin crafts, we produce boats that are lighter, stronger, faster and more comfortable than ever before. If your training program is in search of a new way to train the next generation of sailors, the McLaughlin fusion and SailCube are for you.

McLaughlin distributes two trainers that we find to be turnkey solutions for development into and out of the Optimist.
