GENERAL: The innovative 15' sloop that's in a class all
her own for comfort and handling ease. The all-round fun boat/daysailer for
families, couples or individuals. Her exceptionally wide beam (as big as many
18-footers) and spacious 7' cockpit make it easy for her to carry a large
crew, yet sail on her proper lines. Because of her size, stability and sail-
reducing capabilities, she also makes an excellent trainer.
Mutineer feels every wisp of breeze; sails close to the wind on her main
alone or on just a jib in heavy air. With almost effortless control she
moves easly through the water with very little wake or displacement.
STANDARD: Roller-furling 4-oz. Dacron jib you can reef from the cockpit.
Molded-in textured seats. Skid-resistant deck and flooring. Foil-shape
centerboard with low trunk for extra "people room." Foam flotation under

foil-shape rudder. Pivoting tiller extension. Stainless standing rigging.
Race-type hardware. Dacron running rigging. 4-batten, 4-oz. Dacron mainsail
