The Lightning&#8217;s hard chine and 130 lb centerboard give her the stability and power of a small keel boat going to weather in strong winds and allow her to carry a very large spinnaker for breathtaking off wind rides. The Lightning&#8217;s rig is simple, but offers sophisticated sail shape controls.\u00a0<\/p><p>Our 19-foot trailerable centerboard sloop has evolved into one of the most popular and competitive one-design racing classes in the world. Awarded ISAF International Class status, the Lightning is sailed in more than 13 countries and in the Pan American Games, and the class provides a professionally-managed association that is among the largest in all of one-design sailing.\u00a0<\/p><p>If you&#8217;re looking for a boat you can be proud to sail, one that offers dinghy handling with the performance of a sportboat, a refined design that&#8217;s free of fads, complete with the technology of today for both racing and daysailing &#8211; Get The Best Of Both Worlds.
