-The Buccaneer-
|
|
This Web Page is dedicated the the Buccaneer
sailboat. The boat was originally produced by
Chrysler during the second golden age of sailing
in the 60s & 70s, and is still being produced
today by
Nickels Boat
works. Recently the Buccaneer has been
returning as a great all around day sailor and
racing boat.
It is a great family boat with
comfortable seating for 6 adults. Although it is
a high performance hull, she is very forgiving
most of the time, and is easy to sail |

Lake Dubay in Central Wisconsin is the home lake for the
sailing season. They have a great
boat yard for
storing boats during the sailing season.
Lake DuBay Sailing Association
is a
great club. It is a small group, but
growing. Club races are held on several Tuesdays and
Saturdays during the summer.
After 20 years away from sailing, I decided to return to
the sport. I picked up a 1978
Chrysler
Buccaneer from a gentleman in Ohio. The boat was pretty
much all original including
the Vector sails.
It was a joy to sail in the summer of 2005, and helped
to come up with a
winter project list of
updates to be done. I was amazed that there is an
extremely active
class association, keeping
this great design alive. Their support of this design,
and active
racing fleets makes for a ton of
tech support. Please visit the
Buccaneer Class Association
Page.
