ADVANTAGES AND FEATURES

1) Fun friendly fleet at Leatherlips.

2) No spinnaker means the boat can be competitive without a highly experienced forward crew.

3) Relatively small jib means the crew not need to possess herculean strength. Indeed it is the choice of many family teams.

4) This classic design handles and tracks beautifully in all wind conditions.

5) The lightweight hull is easy to move, handle, and tow. It may be towed by any size car with a trailer hitch.

6) Fits easily in a garage for winter storage or the occasional project.

7) Both fiberglass and wood hulls are competitive. Self bailing design available.
