You never know what you’ll see out on Casco Bay during a glorious fall afternoon. The Maine Yacht Center crew had a ton of fun recently doing some training aboard four Class 40 sloops: Amhas II, Dragon, Toothface II, and Bolands Mill. Sailing days like these were practically made for racing these awesome machines!
