The stock hull weighs only 125 lbs, is naturally buoyant, and also has four flotation compartments with air-out vents. Wing-decks on each side provide comfortable, controlled seating when hiking out. Here for a look at the Wing Dinghy's building sequence and lines. The 12' Mini-Cup was designed to be cheap and easy to build, be cartoppable, and still be fast and fun. The hull is a snap to build, and incorporates a lot of timesaving features.
Sailing is quick and dependable with a kick-up rudder for easy beaching.
Sealed compartments provide enough flotation to capsize, right, and sail away with only a couple of inches of water in the cockpit. The Mini-Cup has been known to give Lasers a run for their money on occasion. As of April of 2001, the Mini-Cup plans are now available only online as a PDF file which you can download. After 25 years, we finally ran out of the printed plans. We decided to make the download free, so all you have to do is click below and open the file with Adobe Acrobat .
