Minnow

Minnow

The Minnow is an eight‑foot pram‑type junior dinghy widely sailed at Australian clubs as a progression from learn‑to‑sail boats. Simple, light and robust, it was conceived as an affordable home‑build and training class that remains competitive whether plywood‑built or moulded in fibreglass. This guide examines its design, layout and practical behaviour for Australian sailing clubs, junior training programmes and families seeking a durable single‑hander for youth racing and learning.
