Sunfish

The Sunfish is one of the most popular recreational sailboat in history. It is simply the easiest boat to rig, sail and maintain.

Hoist the sail, trim the mainsheet and steer - your sailing! The triangular 'lateen' sail is both easy to control and easy to rig and de-powers well in gusty wind.
