the world's easiest sailboats

furler reef for throttling back

The Flying Lateen rig can be fitted to any size or type boat...mono-hull, multi-hull, centerboarder, keelboat, beach boat, daysailer, cruising boat, charter boat or private yacht....
with equal effectiveness.

The "drop down" rig on the little sunfish is as simple as it gets. The rigs on the bigger boats employ everything that one might want to build into a larger boat, including motorized roller furling if desired. Sizes from 14' to 30' have been sailed extensively over the last several years and have performed well in all weather conditions. The rig has proven to be what it was intended to be...a rugged, simple and delightful one under which to sail.
