The Puerto Galera Yacht Club is excited to offer the sailing yacht GUINEVERE II - a Golden Gate/Farallon 30-foot keelboat. A tried and tested true blue-water sailing boat, the club is introducing her to its day-sailing and sailing course program, in addition to the current dinghy sailing course program.
Day Sailing Yacht & Video
Sailing Yacht Guinevere II
The video (opposite) shows S/Y Guinevere II sailing around Puerto Galera in October, crewed by our sailing school graduates. She is sturdy, easy to handle and faster than you might think, bearing in mind her size. Since her arrival in Puerto Galera S/Y Guinevere II has been entered in club races and won some of them, crewed by students recently graduated. A Sailing Certificate is offered at the end of each COURSE listed below
