The Aqua Finn daysailer is designed for the inexperienced sailor or those seeking performance, simplicity, and durability. It is also the ideal boat for training, resort, camp, or rental use with heavy duty reinforcements and thrubolted rubrail. Features include cockpit large enough for two adults, adjustable hiking strap, cockpit drain, kick up rudder system, and sleeved sail versus the common plastic rings. The high performance hull design has a high entry bow with a roll V which lifts the bow through the waves and allows for greater planing ability. Construction is of hand-laid fiberglass utilizing a sandwich core of `Coremat`. The deck design includes molded in splash rail and a roll cap joint that bonds the hull and deck at a 90-degree joint. All hardware is backed by aluminum plates under the fiberglass as opposed to wood so there is no worry of rot. All fasteners are stainless and Harken blocks are used throughout.
