Ensign Class Association

Ensign Class Association Here to promote the Ensign Class Association, Sailing and Sail boat Racing. The Ensign Class Association was founded in 1962.

The objectives of the association are:

To promote and develop Ensign Class racing under uniform rules;
To rigidly maintain the one-design features of the Ensign;
To promote use of the Ensign as a family boat for recreational sailing;
To educate the public, and particularly the youth, in sailing and sailboat racing,
with emphasis on safe boat handling and the use of the proper
and necessary equipm

ent for sailboats. The Ensign is a great boat, for family sailing, cruising, and for racing...

It's a great looking boat, with classic lines, and a wonderfully large, deep cockpit where passengers feel comfortable, safe, and secure...

It has a sail plan that achieves hull speed in breezes as low as eight to ten knots, and a full keel that delivers performance when the boat is sailed flat, and forgiveness when allowed to heel. It is a strong, durable boat, affordable to buy and easy to sell. There are not many designs that get everything so right. For these reasons, the Ensign, on January 25th, 2002, was the first boat inducted into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame.

Once again, as mentioned last night at the National’s Awards Banquet, the Region IV Championship at Austin Yacht Club is coming up October 22 - 24, and if you have never sailed on Lake Travis (especially when the lake is full, as it is right now) or experienced the hospitality of the local fleet, you really should consider going. There are charter boats available, so there’s one less excuse. You do not have to trailer all the way to Texas. October in Texas means cooler weather, the water is still warm (and clean and clear and just gorgeous).

Charter a good boat (there are several available), fly in and see what I am talkin’ ‘bout… Beautiful water, friendliest people, great food, fantastic sailing. YOLO.
