Kauai Sailing Catamaran from Holo Holo Charters on Vimeo.

Ancient Hawaiians used to sail their double-hulled canoes between Tahiti and Hawaii, but you’re in for a far more comfortable ride on your blue water adventure today. With her sleek construction and design, Leila slips quickly and smoothly through the waters on her way to the Na Pali Coast. The catamaran design allows for level sailing. With no more than 10 degrees of “heel,” you won’t be sailing sideways.

Although Leila’s two-hull design is based on a historical prototype, she truly is a modern, state-of-the-art vessel. The space-age epoxy/glass construction used to build Holo Holo was used in making Leila as well. This composite makes for a strong and safe structure. The mast and sail are of the best quality and modern design.

Leila has two entry/exit points for convenient movement on and off the boat while snorkeling. She also has two heads (bathrooms), one located on each side of the boat and are spacious enough to change from “sailing” to “swimming” attire.

Leila has all the modern luxuries and, at 28′ wide, there is ample room for lounging. She’s licensed to carry 45 people, but we keep it down to no more than 37 to give you plenty of space to take in the views.

Famous Sailboat You Can Charter to Sail San Diego Bay from Stars & Stripes USA 11 on Vimeo.

sailusa11.com | Yes, sailing and boating is already fun, but would it not be better knowing you are on an infamous boat/yacht? One that that has been around and raced for decades? I think so - but read for yourself!

What is it and why is it famous? This specific sailboat is called Stars & Stripes USA-11. Now, this boat/yacht was awarded the first America’s Cup trophy winner - on August 22nd, 1974. The history of the boat/yacht (called America) began with five individuals in the New York Yacht Club. These individuals decided they wanted to build a “state-of-the-art” schooner (a sailing ship with two or more masts) in order to compete against British ships in co-occurrence with England’s Great Exposition of 1851. In June 1851, the individuals set sail from New York City’s East River to England. The man that had the role of captain was called Captain William H. Brown and he had a crew of eight. They crossed the Atlantic in just three weeks. Finally, on August 22nd, triumphed in the fifty-three-mile race. Queen Victoria watched from her royal yacht and, after seeing America come over the horizon, she asked her attendant, “What is second?” And he replied, “Your Majesty, there is no second.” As in, there is no second-place prize. Within ten days after the victory the America was sold to an Irish lord for twenty-five thousand dollars. But the America’s Cup racing continued regularly. In the 1970s, a man called Dennis Conner had been twice defending the America’s Cup trophy. In 1987 he built four boats and called them all Stars & Stripes. He began taking on crew members and they tested the boats one by one. Then he was left with one and called it Stars & Stripes USA-11. Conner raced with this boat for fifty-three days until the challenger was defeated. Now, the Stars & Stripes USA-11 remains in San Diego, where it last raced (and won in 1992) with Dennis Conner, and you can hop aboard! See for yourself on the website - sailusa11.com/ - where you will learn all about Stars & Stripes USA-11 sailing San Diego.
