That's cool. I like all the labels for the lines. Have you taken it out yet?  

I saw quite a few running around Marina del Rey (CA) a few decades ago. Have not seen any recently, but I'm sure they are still around. Looks like a very fun boat.  

The Lake Harriet Yacht Club here in Minneapolis has a number of them that they use for their adaptive sailing program for sailors with physical challenges. They are really cool boats and I'd love to get in one. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to get to this program. https://www.lhycsailing.com/racing/  

Very cool boat, Robbie!  

Looks like it would be a fun boat.  

Michael Davis

I watched Dennis Conner and Terry McLaughlin match race mini-12's in Bedwell Harbour, South Pender Island many years ago.Brings back memories!  

Congratulations on your acquisition. Many years ago there were a couple of mini 12s at a local club. A friend was a member there and invited me to sail with him. We had a blast racing around the bay in them for a few hours one afternoon. The ones I sailed had a tiller in front of the seat rather than foot pedals. The tiller controlled the rudder through ropes so I can see how you could adapt either way. I believe they were set up for paraplegics without use of their legs. Very fun boats with a lot of strings to pull so they can be quite technical to race.  

It a 2.4M class boat. The illusions (I think) were made in the UK. Norlin also made them in Sweden. Quite the blast. Busy slow. As Danny notes the are a good AS boat, as long as the student has the mobility to get in, and the motor control to use the controls solo. At WYC we use adapted Solings.  

Brian, Toyed around with it last year. It's a real blast to sail. Remarkably fast and turns on a dime. Takes a little while to get use to it. Foot pedal steering is a little strange at first. I haven't used the spiniker yet because that halyard was not working last year. Over all this thing really is awesome to sail. Last year had a few learning curves to work out. One thing I did learn right out of the gate was how to launch it from the trailer. 1st attempt didn't go as planned. Put the mast up and all the standing and running rigging up with out any issues. Removed all the tie down straps from the trailer. Rolled it back down the ramp, so far so good. It started to float, and had to give it a little push to clear the trailer pads. Then it slipped off the trailer and floated back about six feet. Few seconds later it capsized and sank. I forgot to put the lead waight sin the keel, was a little top heavy. Fortunately nobody was around to see that, but I still thought it was pretty funny nevertheless. What guy ever reads a manual. After about an hour trying to get it floating again. Went sailing for hours, and had a blast. My wife said that I told her that I was only going to be out on the water for an hour. I was gone for two, but when I told what had happened, the one hour it took to re-float it doesn't count for my sailing time.  

Mark Maulden

I think I saw a bunch of these on the hard at the Royal Vic Yacht Club outside Victoria BC..

Hi, I looking at a mini 12 mtr. on trailer. I am glad I read about the chap who launched his off the trailer fully rigged and it rolled over. I would have done the same.  

Looks like a fun boat. All the skippers looked to be wearing dry suits. Makes me think it is a wet boat to sail. With so much of the hull beneath the water and so little free board, how do you keep it afloat? It looks like it could easily become a submarine. A fun one.  

It looks like a blast to sail. I would be up for a test sail If I found one.  

Capt Robbie said: JSsailem, Very little freeboard, and you do get wet a lot, but that's half the fun!! It has air tight compartments to prevent it from sinking, however you can submerge the stern. That makes it a little chalanging to get going again. Just learned how to pump out fast Over all still a blast to sail. Click to expand

The International 2.4mR Class Updated February 22, 2005

Background:

After the 1980 America's Cup in Newport, Rhode Island a new "class" of boats was introduced to the sailing world. Because of their resemblance to the 12 Meter yachts sailed in the America's Cup they were called "Mini 12's".

Mini 12's became popular as many sailors discovered that family and business commitments prevented them from using their larger yachts. Mini 12's offered an excellent opportunity to resume racing without investing large amounts of money and available leisure time.

The International 2.4mR Class:

Within two years of the debut of the "Mini-12", the Scandinavian Peninsula became the development site of an even more sophisticated yacht -- the 2.4mR yacht. Designed by Peter Norlin , Sweden's renowned naval architect, along with a number of other designers, these boats met the design criteria of the International Meter Rule. Peter Norlin’s design also enabled physically challenged sailors to adapt the sailboat to their specific needs. This has provided disabled and able-bodies sailors an opportunity to successfully compete against one another.

Organized in 1986, the International 2.4mR Class is well established in the Scandinavian countries and around the World. It is not unusual to see 50 or more 2.4mR boats at the starting line of a race.

The 1996 2.4mR World Championship in Cannes, France (October 1996) had seventy-five (75) Norlin yachts starting in a seventy-nine (79) yacht fleet. Peter Norlin won the 1996 2.4mR World Championship, and placed second in the 1997 2.4mR World Championships. Eighty-one (81) of eighty-six (86) yachts were Norlin designed.

The 1998 World Championships had over 100 boats registered. What a start line that proved to be. 1999 was another banner year for the World Championships with over 90 boats registered.  With many World Championships sailed in Europe, where most of the fleets reside, 100 or so boats are not uncommon at the start.  The United States hosted the 2002 World Championship with 55 boats representing more than seven nations at the start.

The International 2.4mR Class is a "development class". It is not yet strictly defined as a "one-design" class. Subtle changes may be made if the modifications remain within the Meter Rule. There is considerable discussion within the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), formerly the International Yacht Racing Union (IYRU), and other organizations around the world to make the class a true "one-design".

The Swedish 2.4mR Class has asked many 2.4mR owners, racers and builders, for their position on the 2.4mR Class becoming a true One-Design Class. See Standardization below.

Characteristics:

The International 2.4mR Class is growing worldwide. In November 1992, the International 2.4mR Class, and the Norlin Mark III, was adopted into the IYRU. This has provided an additional measure of acceptance and strength to the popularity of the design.

The Norlin Mark III is ideal for either the beginning, physically challenged and experienced sailor. Due to its design, it’s an excellent "racing machine". It incorporates all of the major sail control features of other meter yachts such as a boom vang, backstay tensioner, outhaul, traveler, cunningham, etc. All sail trim controls are led to a console forward of the helmsman’s seat, below the main deck. Steering is controlled either by foot pedals or hand controls. The hallmark of the Norlin Mark III is its unique design and versatility. As a fixed-keel yacht it is virtually non-capsizable. If it is swamped, it will not sink as a result if its built in positive foam flotation.

Simple, yet thrilling to sail, the majority of your body remains below the waterline. The Norlin Mark III provides an incredible rush of excitement. Many racers describe it as the Formula 1 race car of sailing. There is nothing you can’t learn from sailing a Norlin Mark III, as you are the skipper, tactician and crew.

Sailing Diversity:

The characteristic features of the fixed keel, displacement yacht makes the size of the skipper meaningless. Men, women, disabled and beginning sailors are at no disadvantage due to weight or other body characteristics. The Norlin Mark III requires little physical exertion to sail, allowing each sailor to compete evenly. Sailing ability is the critical factor to winning, not strength . The Norlin Mark III provides one of the few forms of competition where disabled and able-bodied persons can compete on an equal basis.

Standardization:

A strong class association is important for active sailboat racers. This will protect their fleet through standardization of design and promotion of the design to increase the popularity of the class. Standardization enables owners to compete throughout the world with other racers who own boats sharing identical specifications.

Peter Norlin, designer of the Norlin Mark III, will propose to the ISAF that this boat become a one-design class, still adhering to the Rules of the International 2.4 Meter Class. This proposal, when approved, will protect the owner’s investment for many years to come. It will also allow the Norlin Mark III to be a candidate for the Olympics, as one of the considerations for selection is a one-design class boat. The results were not favorable for a One-design Class so it will be tabled until a majority of National Class Associations vote in favor of the One-design concept.

One-design standardization:

As stated above, a strong class association is important for active sailboat racers. On July 14, 2000, the US 2.4mR Class voted to abandon the US 2.4mR Class and start a new One-design Class with the Norlin Mark III as the basis. This was done after a worldwide vote to allow this One-design Class to be implemented and administered by the International 2.4mR Class.

The new Class is the United States N3 Class Association. All current memberships were transferred to the new Class. A number of other countries have already voted for a One-design Class and may follow the lead of the United States.

At the ISAF Annual General Meeting in November 2000, the International 2.4mR Class put off the petition to the ISAF to infer International status to the N3 Class boats, even though a number of countries were in favor of this development and the fact that N3 Class boats are being built in four countries on four continents.  Since the vote was put off, the One-design issue has been tabled.

In lieu of this, the United States reverted back to the development class status and renamed itself the United States 2.4mR Class Association at the July 2004 Annual General Meeting.

Transportation:

The Norlin Mark III can be transported as an entire unit on a specially designed road trailer or small utility/yard trailer. With the lead ballast removed, the Norlin Mark III weighs approximately 145 pounds. Car topping is possible. These features provide the opportunity to keep the yacht at home and travel easily from one sailing site to another.

Fleet Sites:

The US fleet was started in Florida and congregated in the St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Fort Lauderdale and Miami areas. A number of new fleets have recently been created and are growing in number of boats in Darien, CT, Stamford, CT, Bangor, ME, Northeast Harbor, ME, Lake Norman, NC, Savannah, GA, San Diego, CA and Sylvania, OH.

Norlin Mark III:

The Norlin Mark III is the current World Champion 2.4mR yacht. It has not lost a World or National championship since 1990. SAILINGWORLD TM magazine selected it as the 1994 BOAT OF THE YEAR in the One-Design/Day Sailer category. Numerous articles in many separate publications have since been written and published about the boat.

The Norlin Mark III is sailed by more than 80% of the active 2.4mR sailors in the world and it makes up 95% to 98% of the boats registered in the World Championships. It is the boat of choice in this class. It is manufactured on four continents: Europe; North America; South America; and Australia.

In November 1997 the ISAF chose the Norlin Mark III as the boat raced in the 2000 Paralympics, Sydney, Australia, the 2004 Paralympics, Athens, Greece, the 2008 Paralympics, Beijing, China and the 2012 Paralympics.

There is a movement underway to introduce the boats as a Demonstration Class at the Summer Olympic games. The introduction of the Norlin Mark III and its inevitable International Class status as a true One-design boat, should help move this project along.

WOW! Look at that speed!

14 Great Pocket Cruisers in 2023

• By Victor Tan
• Updated: July 20, 2023

Pocket cruisers and mini yachts are generally vessels under 50 feet in length overall, and can include express cruiser designs, flybridge yachts as well as either monohull or catamaran hull forms. They are cruising boats easily handled by a small, or even shorthanded, crew. Pocket cruisers generally have wave-taming hull designs and have the ability to take on sporty seas, offer comfortable accommodations belowdecks with one or two staterooms for extended voyages, “homelike amenities,” and the ability to cruise as slowly or as quickly as an owner desires with inboard- and outboard-power options. These pocket-cruising boats have the range for longer voyages , can pull up in skinny water at the sandbar thanks to shallow drafts, and head over the horizon where cruising adventure awaits. Pocket cruisers are true multitasking yachts. When it comes to family and couples cruising, it’s hard to beat a well-built and well-equipped and pocket cruiser.

Best Cruising Boats Under 50-Feet

The following 14 pocket cruisers and mini yachts are all vessels we’ve seen, been aboard, and tested. They are listed in no particular order.

• Hood 35 LM: high-tech, family-friendly pocket cruiser
• Galeon Yachts 375 GTO: mid-size boat with plenty of below-deck space
• Aquila 42: sleek power catamaran ready to entertain
• Azimut Verve 42 : small, yet mighty yacht ready for open water
• Hinckley Yachts 35: luxury picnic cruiser with range
• Beneteau Gran Turismo 45: sleek cruising yacht with all the amenities
• Solaris Power 48 Open: eye-catching power yacht with 360-degree views
• Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS: luxury cruiser yacht with powerful outboard options
• Back Cove 34O: modern outboard power combined with classic Downeast styling
• Picnic Boat 40: speedy and fuel-efficient vessel with great looks
• Aquila 36: comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt
• Boston Whaler 350 Realm: multitasker built for fishing and entertaining
• MJM 35z: sporty, aesthetically pleasing, cruising-conscious features and elegant lines
• Greenline 39: sturdy-looking lines and environmentally-friendly power

When Android co-founder, Rich Miner, wanted a new family-friendly pocket cruiser , he turned to a custom-penned C.W. Hood design and a Lyman-Morse-built 35-footer, which has a timeless Down East profile matched to seriously modern technology under the hood.

This yacht looks like a traditional, cold-molded Down East dayboat, but actually, it has everything, from Hamilton HJX Series water-jet drives to a planned Sea Machines autonomous command-and-control system . Top speed: 40-plus knots.

Quick Specifications

Galeon yachts 375 gto.

Even the remnants of Hurricane Ian, couldn’t dissuade the Galeon Yacht 375 GTO from its cruising mission. The small yacht’s wave-splitting hull form is paired to torque-filled 600 hp Mercury Verado outboards , giving this fun-in-the-sun boat a 47-knot top hop.

The 375 GTO is a speedster, to be sure, but it’s also so much more. Just about every aspect of the main deck seating is transformable and multifunction, from the aft seating to the alfresco dining abaft the helm, and beyond. It also has a family-size and eminently cruise-worthy belowdecks space for four guests, all while providing a foredeck entertaining lounge too.

The Galeon Yachts 375 GTO ticks all the boxes for an easy-to-handle and sporty cruiser.

Aquila 42 Yacht Power Catamaran

Following the success of its 44-, 54- and 70-foot power catamaran models, Aquila has launched the stable-as-a-table, owner-operator-ready Aquila 42 Yacht Power Catamaran .

The Aquila 42 is the entry point into the builder’s yacht line and is noteworthy for its ability to accommodate anywhere from a two- to four-stateroom layout, depending on the owner’s cruising requirements. There are alfresco spaces to manage the sunset cruise with friends and family, including a foredeck lounge area that can be accessed via centerline steps from the flybridge. The Aquila 42 is available with several Volvo Penta diesel-engine options .

Azimut Verve 42

Want to cruise from Florida to Bimini in about an hour? The Azimut Yachts Verve 42 can do that thanks, in part, to triple 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards and a hull designed to dice-and-slice a seaway. Top hop: 45 knots. The Verve 42 also has style for miles with a fine entry, raked hardtop, and a razorlike sheerline accented by sweeping hull glass from bow to stern. It’s striking.

With accommodation for a family of four, the Verve 42 is also solid under the hull tokeep everyone safe on those passages. The Verve 42’s hull is built of fiberglass and uses vinylester resins for blister protection. The yacht’s deck and hardtop are comprised of carbon fiber for strength without added weight. This all means that the Azimut Verve 42 is built to CE Classification Type A , making it suitable for sea voyages where winds can exceed 45 mph and seas to 13 feet.

Hinckley Yachts 35

The Hinckley Yachts 35 takes everything that yachtsmen like about this pedigreed-brand’s classic profile and infuses today’s modern outboard power to create 40 knots of sheer fun wrapped in sheer luxury.

This 35-foot Hinckley is built on a Michael-Peters-penned hull form with a fine entry, wider-than-average chines and a moderate deadrise. While the boat is built to sprint when desired, it’s also a relatively economical cruiser. For instance, a comfortable 24-knot cruise the Hinckley Yachts 35 has a 276-nautical-mile range.

It also has a tech-build thanks to vacuum-infused carbon-fiber composites and epoxy resin. An integrated interior structure is infused with the hull adding rigidity. The hull is then post-cured in an 80-foot oven, further strengthening the structure.

Beneteau Gran Turismo 45

The Beneteau Gran Turismo is the flagship of the builder’s four-model GT series, which also includes 32-, 36- and 41-foot models.

The Gran Turismo 45 ’s cruise-centric layout includes two staterooms and two heads belowdecks, as well as a galley down. There is also a dinette for meals and a settee for rainy-day lounging. Entertaining guests and enjoying the sun is the primary mission of the main deck.

Solaris Power 48 Open

The Solaris Power 48 Open was the first powerboat from this longtime builder known for its sailing yachts, ranging from 40 to 110 feet length overall. The Solaris Power 48 Open is notable for its wave-slicing plumb-bow design, high freeboard forward and 32-knot-plus speed. Power is twin 480 hp Volvo Penta IPS650 diesels.

The high freeboard keeps the deck dry and help creates sizable volume belowdecks with an average 6-foot-6-inch headroom. This enables real estate for either one or two staterooms. With the single-stateroom setup, there is a forepeak master stateroom while an L-shaped settee converts to sleeping accommodations for family or occasional guests. Interior wood options are oak or walnut.

Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS

Outboard-power cruising aficionados will appreciate the triple-engine options for the Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS . The 42 GLS we got aboard had the triple 400 hp Mercury Verados , which produced a top hop of 45 knots, but triple 450 hp Verados are available. Triple 350 hp Mercury Verados are the standard engine option. No matter the power arrangement, this express cruiser can easily be used for wakeboarding and tube towing. The 42 GLS is designed to handle the rough stuff too, with a fine entry and 21-degree transom deadrise.

For cruising enthusiasts, the 42 GLS has a master stateroom with an athwartships and a nearly queen-size berth, and the lower salon’s U-shaped dinette converts to a queen-size berth for the kids.

Back Cove 34O

Combining modern outboard power with classic Downeast styling, the Back Cove 34O touts award-winning standards with cruising in mind. The 34O is equipped with twin 300 hp Yamaha outboards, engines that allow the Newport International Boat Show’s 2018 Best Powerboat Under 35 Feet winner to travel up to 214 nautical miles at 24 knots on a 250-gallon fuel tank.

Belowdecks, the 34O has an island double berth and a split-head arrangement with the toilet to port and a separate shower stall to starboard. On the main deck, a U-shape dinette to port accommodates four or more guests on the Back Cove Yachts vessel. The 34O’s galley is equipped with a Cuisinart microwave, a two-burner Kenyon electric cooktop and a Vitrifrigo fridge and freezer.

Picnic Boat 40

Hinckley Yachts unveiled its first Picnic Boat more than two decades ago. Now, after two previous, sub-40-foot models, the Maine-based boatbuilder has developed its largest and most advanced model to date: the Picnic Boat 40.

Twin 480 hp Cummins diesel engines paired to twin Hamilton 322 jet drives propel the yacht to a 30-knot cruising speed and 34 knots on the pins. With optional twin 550 hp Cummins diesels, cruise and top-end speeds jump to 35 and 38 knots, respectively.

There is an L-shaped settee with a table and a wet bar on the main deck to port. The helm station is forward and to starboard with a benchseat for two. There is also a companion seat across from the helm. Belowdecks, there is 6-foot-2-inch headroom, and the dinette table drops to form a California-king berth for overnights and weekending.

Aquila Power Catamarans started its line with 44- and 48-footers, and now the builder’s Aquila 36 takes the line into the midsize market.

The 36 features a single, main-living area from bow to stern, helped in part by the vessel’s 14-foot, 7-inch beam. The boat can comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt. Several Mercury Verado engine options are available for the Aquila 36, including twin 250-, 300- and 350-hp four-strokes. With the 350s, the Aquila has a top-end speed of 37 knots.

Other notable features include a fiberglass hardtop, a dinette, a cooktop, a fridge, a sink and a smokeless grill. Belowdecks, there are two staterooms with nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads and 6-foot-6-inch headroom in each.

Boston Whaler 350 Realm

From fishing and entertaining guests to diving and overnight cruising, Boston Whaler ‘s 350 Realm is a multitasker. And it’s fast, too. It’s powered with either triple 300 hp or triple 350 hp Mercury Verados. The 350 Realm can reach a top speed of 46 knots.

At the helm, two Raymarine displays provide vital navigation data. The captain can take in the displays’ view from a doublewide helm seat. There’s a flip-down platform for standing when needed and a footrest when desired.

There is a V-shaped berth that converts into a double berth with a filler cushion. The separated head has a VacuFlush MSD and a hot-and-cold shower. Owners also have the option to add a microwave and a flat-screen TV.

The MJM 35z can reach a top speed of 44 knots and a cruising speed of 33 knots on its optional 350 hp Mercury Verado outboards; twin 300 hp outboards are standard on this MJM Yachts vessel. Additionally, the 35z can travel up to 304 nautical miles on its 250-gallon fuel tank.

The 35z has a flush-deck layout and to port is space for an electric grill, a baitwell, a sink, an ice maker and a fridge. There are two Stidd helm seats—one for the helmsman and the other for a copilot—that rotate to face the rest of the seating aft. In the cabin is V-shaped seating forward that can be converted to a berth.

Owners also have the option of adding a Seakeeper 3 gyrostabilizer and a full-length Bimini top to shade the cockpit.

Greenline 39

Greenline Yachts ‘ vessels are aptly named for their environmentally friendly means of moving about; the Greenline 39 is no different. The Slovenian yacht manufacturer produces two types of this model: hybrid and solar.

If owners opt for the latter, the 39’s four solar panels atop the salon power all of the vessel’s systems for three hours. With the power of the sun, the 39 can achieve a max speed of 6.5 knots and a cruising speed of 4 knots. The hybrid type uses those same panels to help power a 220 hp Volvo Penta D3 with a Mahle electric-drive system. Owners have the option of replacing the standard engine with a 370 hp Yanmar 8LV diesel.

Belowdecks, scissor berths provide accommodations for long weekends.

The best small cruising yachts in 2023

• Theo Stocker
• September 29, 2023

Despite bigger yachts dominating the new boat scene in recent decades, there are still any number of builders making new smaller cruisers. Here's our pick of the best small cruising yachts in 2023

We have seen a surprisingly large number of builders going against the grain to bring small cruising yachts to market in the last year or so, ranging from trailer0-sailers to smaller traditionally-styled options. Here, we’ve rounded up 4 of the best small cruising yachts launched in the last year.

Typically this size of yacht appeals to those who are looking for a day sailer or weekender and will often offer reduced draught in able to allow you to go creek crawling or nose your way into otherwise hard to get to anchorages.

The best small cruising yachts 2023

Once you’ve seen one, Bente yachts are unmistakable. We revisited the brand’s first boat, the Bente 24 , a couple of issues ago, which has been around for 10 years or so. The brand then launched the striking Bente 39 which was immensely innovative, but the company ran into financial difficulties. Now under new owners and a more stable footing, a third model has been launched, which I can’t wait to test sail. The Bente 28 is unlike any other 28-footer.

The hull is cutting edge with wide transom, double rudders and full bows providing a powerful hull form as well as volume below. Construction is polyester GRP foam sandwich, with the basic version being heavier hand lamination, and the more expensive Edition version being vacuum infused. While this is a boat designed to be fast, it’s a long way from a wild racing boat.

Displacement is a not outlandish 3.2 tonnes and draught is 1.6m (there’s an option for a 1.95m performance T-keel with lead bulb that’s 100kg lighter), so it fits well within the scope of a sensible cruising boat.

The Tide 25, built by MFH in north Germany – began its life as a Dehler SQ25, but the mould was sold off when that company hit hard times. Plumb bows and stern with a long hull chine, bevelled deck edge and twin rudders put her on trend, and maximise performance under sail and accommodation on board.

On deck, she has a large cockpit with benches forward and four decent lockers. Under the cockpit sole there’s access to what would be engine space for a diesel inboard, now housing batteries for the electric motors.

Opt for the sport version, and you’ll get beefed up deck hardware and a minimalist fit out, with the mainsheet traveller across the transom, while the comfort version has a smaller main with the mainsheet coming to a fixed point on the cockpit sole forward of the helm. The rig has aft-swept spreaders and no backstay.

The fact that the accommodation of the Pointer 30 is designed around a Nespresso machine, enshrined in glory, tells you a lot about this boat. It was conceived as a comfortable, fast and stylish weekend cruiser that you can take your friends down to for a coffee before a nice sail to somewhere for lunch. This is a boat that knows what it is about. Tea drinkers, don’t worry; there’s still a gas hob to boil a kettle.

The sail area isn’t vast, but this looks to be an easily driven hull. A below-deck furler setting a genoa that sheets to tracks on the coachroof is standard, with a self-tacker being optional.

The fixed bowsprit houses a bow roller, and a tack point for furling offwind sails – the gennaker takes her offwind sail area up to 100m2, set from an aluminium twin-spreader rig with adjustable backstay. She has a powerful kicker, but no traveller for the main, which is sheeted to a raised plinth in the cockpit sole.

Below deck the layout is simple, clean and quietly stylish. Headroom is restricted, dictated by the low freeboard and elegant lines.

To port, the heart of the boat is the ‘coffee bar’ on a shelf in the moulded hull liner, next to a small dinette-style table with two leather swivel armchairs. The forward of these chairs spins round to face a neat lift-top desk (though the drawer below isn’t large enough for a chart).

Swallow Yachts 32

Aimed at sailors who may have owned larger yachts before but want to downsize, Swallow Yachts owner Matt Newland explained that he ‘wanted to build a boat that was fun and easy to sail, simple to maintain and had timeless looks with as low an environmental impact as possible.’

Though not a true launch-and-sail trailer sailer, a four-by-four will still be able to tow the 32 on her own trailer, as boat and trailer come in at under 3.5 tonnes, and within the 2.9m overhang limit.

With a keel-down draught of 2.8m, a fine entry at the bow and broad aft sections, this boat promises to be a good performer. You can sail with the lifting keel in any position for shoal waters, but lift it all the way and you’ve got a draught of just 40cm for creek crawling and drying out.

Newland has tried to draw lines that are timeless rather than trendy while a retractable bowsprit, backstayless carbon rig and square-top mainsail ensure she is right up there in terms of her contemporary design and latest tech.

The Mini12 is a truly weed free design and with ponds weeding up, it is the perfect boat for such sailing locations. .  The Mini 12 is a growing fleet in the eastern part of Ontario. The boat is 45 inches in length and weighs 16lbs. It is small enough to be carried in a normal sized car yet large enough to have a presence out on the water.

Blake Moran from Frankford, Ontario is now producing hulls and complete boats. You can contact Blake through the CRYA website.

Mike Ingham is the Class Secretary, and he can be  contacted using this form .

In Memoriam – FRANK W. SCOTT – 1937 – 2019

FROM EAST COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, ENGLAND.

Married Josephine Mathews in 1961, together they had three children Nicholas, Ian and Lee. Frank was a Master Boat Builder, Modeler and Model Train Enthusiast.

             He began working at S.E Saunders in Cowe’s Isle of Wight straight from school at 16yrs of age working with people like Uffa Fox (famous boat designer and builder(1897-1972)) then worked a while at BHC (British Hovercraft corp) until mid  60’s when he joined Clare Lallows yacht and motor launch builders where he helped build in 1969-1970 the then British Prime Minister  “Sir Edward Heath” (avid sailor and racer) yacht “Morning Cloud.”   Then in Sept 1974, he and family moved to Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Canada.  Then made a short stint teaching boat building in St Andrews N.B. before settling in Newington, Ontario in 1981.

He still found the time to design and build model vane steering and R/C yachts as well as other style boats and display models for numerous people far and wide along with his passion of British and North American model trains.

One model yacht he designed in 1969 and built in the backyard shed of his home in England was of the Marblehead class (vane steering) out of wood finished in 1970 and raced at Ryde Model yacht Club (est. in 1874) still runs to this day)) on the Island with his son Nicholas every Sunday year round and won numerous races, she was called “FIREBRAND IV”. With the move to Canada, the boat was carefully packed and shipped where is was restored in 2018 and is now proudly owned by his son Nicholas along with a scratch-built fishing trawler and a Tyne Class RNLI Lifeboat.

His son Nicholas went to England in August 2016  where he visited Clare Lallows Boat Yard and spoke to them about his father and  the “Morning Cloud” yacht and since it was “Cowes Week” (very large well known yachting Regatta) he was told that moored up at the next marina was said yacht “Morning Cloud” that had just finished extensive restoration by its new owner and was renamed “The Opposition” His son Nicholas managed to take pictures and tour her much the delight of his father that it was still around after 40 + years.

He is missed by his family and many friends far and wide. With the recent passing of his wife Josephine in October 2019 they will be together again sailing off the shores of the ISLE OF WIGHT.

Illusion Mini 12 Sailboats (2) with tandem trailer

Traverse City, Michigan

Posted Over 1 Month

Up for offer, I have two mini Illusion Mini 12 Sailboats in like-new condition. These boats were manufactured when 12 Meter sailboats were used in the America's Cup, and on their shape gives the Illusion of a 12 Meter sailboat. These boats are fun and easy to sail (you steer with your feet), and have every control line found on larger boats, from adjustable genoa cars to spinnaker pole controls, to adjustable backstays. They even have Harken roller-furling headsails. The boats have lived indoors (except when sailing) their entire lives and the original gel coat still shines like new. Each boat has two sets of sails (four sets total) - a dacron crusing set, and a mylar racing set. Both boats have full spinnaker gear and spinnakers. Included in the package is a custom trailer with new tires, wheel bearings, and lights. It is a very fun sailing package that is in great shape and needs nothing. Enjoy!

Category Sloop Sailboats

2007 Prototype Mini Transat 6.50 Designed by Pierre Roland. Built in the USA by D.Wood, this prototype Mini 6.50 has less than 2,800nm under its keel. "Biohazard" is completely build out of carbon fiber and optimized with amazing design features such as a canting keel, water ballasts, centerboard, twin rudders, a 12 foot bowsprit and a planning hull powered up by a 40 foot carbon mast. Well known Mini 6.50s/Open 5.70s builder and offshore racer, Jerome Sammarcelli, purchased the boat in 2015 and completely refitted it. The boat has been meticulously maintained and is fully equipped for offshore racing. In 2016, the boat has always finished on the podium, and also won the well known "Bishop Rock Race", a 200nm singlehanded race to Cortez Bank. Biohazard remains the smallest boat on the race course but is always one of the first to finish! Biohazard is ready for some serious offshore sailing and completely optimized for singlehanded or double handed sailing. Of course, you can always participate to regular buoy and coastal point to point races. Under PHRF Southern California, the boat rates 140 (buoy), 123 (RLC) and 120 (OWC). A recent survey (April 2016) established the replacement value of Biohazard at $120,000.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Spin.: 45 sq. ft. ‘Mini 12’one-design single hander with pedal steering. Similar concept as the 2.4M but somewhat smaller. Ballast can be added or removed from a cavity within keel. Most recent Builder: Advanced Marine Structures www.amstructures.co.uk +44 (0) 1983 200011
