SeaSprayWe got this beauty from Don Snell of the Sea Spray Class in Alberta who proudly reminds us “the SeaSpray is an excellent one person catamaran with numerous advantages over other catamaran classes. It is a forgiving, beginner trainer catamaran that has appeal to male, female, young to old. Sailed out of a couple of clubs of note, Newell Sailing Club www.newellsailingclub.com on Lake Newell in SE Alberta and Osoyoos Sailing Club on Osoyoos Lake, Osoyoos, BC. sailosoyoos.ca”
