Lido 14 Fleet 57

The Lido 14 is experiencing resurgence due to the continued support from the Lido 14 Class Association and the tremendous effort of W.D. Schock Corp. to revitalize the Lido 14 for the 1990’s and beyond. In 1995, W.D. Schock re-introduced the Lido 14 with a modern two piece mold design that greatly reduced the complexity and cost of construction while simultaneously improving upon the safety, comfort, and longevity of the design. The “new” Lido 14 was showcased to the nation in the running of the 1996 U.S. Sailing Championship of Champions held in Newport Beach (see photo). This event, held in conjunction with U.S. Sailing’s annual meeting, brings twenty one-design class champions together in a common boat to crown one sailor the champion of champions.
