We always try to sail
Sailing is our number one goal: Wolf always tries to sail, and we motor only when we have to. We can't promise wind, but we go looking for it and show you what Wolf, our classic Cal 34, can really do.
Relax with a drink, or take the helm and trim the sails. Age doesn't matter: we'll build your confidence, whether it's your first time on a sailboat or you've sailed for years.
