Midwest Sailing is excited to offer single-handed sailing as an excellent way to enjoy the pleasure of sailing without the need for a crew. Since 1963 we have been a dealer of small sailboats helping make Michigan summers fun. From the classic Sunfish, to the sporty Laser we have a variety of boats to help the most experienced or the beginning sailor.

  Laser Pico is built for your family. The combination of a spacious self-draining cockpit and a high boom means there is a tremendous amount of room aboard for children or a couple of adults. Perfect for introducing your family to the sport of sailing. Families can be pretty demanding! Laser Pico is built to take those demands in stride. The Laser Pico is tough, it requires virtually no maintenance and is ready for action in minutes.

The Bravo is Hobie's latest contribution to sailing simplicity. The Bravo's large sail area makes it responsive in light winds, while the roller-furling main and square-top sail design allow for controlled sailing in all wind conditions. With it's unmatched ease of use, comfort and stability, the Hobie Bravo is ideal for new sailors and experienced sailors of all ages.

Sunfish 14'

The Sunfish is a classic boat with unmatched stability and ease of sailing... one of 25 best designed products in America. Designed in 1952, the Sunfish is a miracle of simplicity and function. The sail plan requires just two lines and the boat can be set up and sailing in less than five minutes. The hull is light enough to throw on top of your car with ease, and the bulletproof construction ensures that your Sunfish will provide years of virtually maintenance free enjoyment.

Laser 14'
PIcture Laser Sailboat   "The thoroughbred of single-handed sailboats. I've owned a Laser since 1983 and love it." -RICK
The Laser is designed for simplicity. The hull shape, blades and rig combine to create the ultimate sailing machine. Every Laser in the world is identical, and strict class rules ensure that remains true. The Laser is a challenging boat that rewards athleticism, subtle steering and trimming techniques, as well as tactical excellence. The lessons the Laser teaches you will translate to virtually any boat you sail. Sailing a Laser is an investment in skills that will last you a lifetime.
