5R Sailing

Make sure you pay attention to buoys and markers while boating. Many times, accidents can be prevented if you know and obey all buoys and markers. Take a boating safety course to learn more about boating safely.

Finally was able to get the the Oday Javelin "PIONEER" launched here at Cheney lake it's down about 5 ft and many of the ramps are not real accessible. I had to walk her about halfway to the breakwater at sailboat cove before I could put the board down and go SAILING!!!!.the crazy tight tacking is where we came to the aid of a boater in distress... overturned and swamped father/son Jet ski duo...brought the child aboard while dad righted the swamped craft... As we were rigging for a tow under sail we were able to hail a pair of other PWC's better suited to get the family back to dock in a timely manner... Glad to have been in the right place and for the added PWC assistance to get the family home safely.

At 5R Saling we take boating safety and YOUR sailing education seriously, while keeping your experience well within the FUN category.

We have three classes of boats to meet your sailing education needs. While we are based in Butler County Kansas, all of our vessels are trailerable and as such we can customize your educational experience on many bodies of water in South Central Kansas.
