History

Sailed on the same hull Alcort's Bryan, Heyniger and Meinert designed in 1952, the Mini rig scales the lateen sail down for lighter junior sailors learning on a full-size Sunfish before they move up to the standard main.

Sailing Characteristics

The reduced sail area keeps power manageable for a lighter sailor, while the same flat, stable hull means the boat handles and rights the same way as a standard Sunfish.

Racing Context

Used mainly at club and youth program level as a training step within Sunfish fleets, giving lighter sailors a way onto the class hull before they race the full-size rig.
