The Definitive Family Sailboat The "cruising" features of the Lido are outstanding. Contoured bench seats run the full length of the cockpit and offer comfortable seating for up to six adults. A carefully designed deck keeps the cockpit dry and provides good footing for boarding. Beginners find the Lido 14 comfortable and safe and delightfully easy to learn in. They love the Lido's stability and its spacious cockpit. One Design Racing It didn t take long before racing the Definitive Family Sailboat became a passion. The first Class Championship was held in 1958, less than a year after production started. Experienced sailors find superb competition in the Lido 14 Class. Strict one design class rules place the emphasis on the skill of the skipper and crew. For this reason, many Olympic-caliber sailors have been attracted to the class. At the same time, boats sailed by couples and family members continue to be extremely competitive. In most class events the Lido class is divided into two fleets to offer fair competition for all entrants. The National Class Association ( www.lido14.com ) coordinates exciting activities for all Lido sailors and publishes an excellent class newsletter. 4
