Col Svenson & Crew with the loot - 2012 Castle State Titles

Welcome to the newly updated Castle Association website.  Despite the website being inactive the association has been very much active.  Please stay tuned for upcoming events, stories, photos and more.

The Association was founded in 1984 to further the interests of Castle 650 and 550 owners. Within a month of its formation it had run its first race series. This strong racing orientation continues today with the boats being well represented in statetrailable yacht championships and in racing at club level. 

The 550 is now out of production but the 650 continues to be produced by its designer, Steve Douglas, trading as YachtWorks. YachtWorks have turned out close to 165 650's to date. The Association has no affiliation with Yacht Works. This site will include some Yacht Works brochures that we feel are of historical interest.
