Welcome to American Sail Builder of Small Sailboats, Catamarans, and Daysailers. Small sailboats are our specialty! We've made fun family sailboats for over 40 years. American Sail got its start over 40 years ago in 1976 with the purchase of the Aqua Cat catamaran.
The American 14.6 Daysailer is definitely one of the best small sailboats you can find. She is designed for the beginning sailor or those who are seeking a large, stable sloop that offers hassle-free sailing.
The company mission at American Sail has always been to provide family sailboats that are easy to rig and easy to sail, yet fast and fun. In the 1980's, an emphasis was put on designing a line of yacht tenders and entry level daysailers.
All of our sailboats are designed for family fun and not hard-core racing. One person can rig each boat in the line in less than 20 minutes. Every boat is also setup to be sailed by one person.
This boat is designed to sail flat with minimal heel. It is Offered as a package with boat, sails, and galvanized trailer. Optional features include roller furling jib, outboard engines or trolling motor, trailering cover, and mooring cover.
The Pennant is the perfect small sailboat for the younger generation to learn the basics of sloop rig sailing. Simple to rig with a two-piece mast and free standing mast flange, to allow for single person assembly.
Our boats are all very easy to sail and perfect for beginners or experienced sailors. Sailing lessons are definitely NOT a requirement. However we do encourage you to find a local sailing school or community sailing organization so that you can learn from a certified instructor and get the most out of your sailing experience and more ...
