About National Pintail Class Association
Originally built in Detroit in 1966, the Pintail has been a favorite for many years.
A boat that rigs easily, launches with a minimum of effort and is easy to sail, depicts the excellent qualities inherent in all Pintails. These criteria have produced a family daysailer capable of carrying over a thousand pound load.
The hull form necessary to accomplish this task is very full, with a generous amount of freeboard. These qualities of the Pintail’s hull make her an exceptionally stable, dry boat not dependent upon a bailing system for the dryness of the interior.
