Sailing is a way of life. Have fun. | 09-01-2015, 04:10 | | Boat: Ericson 34 | and have been considering it. I'm a new sailor so I want some second opinions but will a flying junior be okay for a beginner? Actually three beginners? The crash of waves and salty air are the signs of freedom | 05-07-2015, 12:49 | | Boat: Ensenada 20 | , so: The FJ can be a good boat for beginners, but it is usually best sailed with two on board. There are many models. The International FJ was offered in seat and non-seat models; the latter has you sitting on the gunnel. The tradeoff for this loss in comfort is that you learn to hike out and when you do , it comes up very dry (no bailing). More common now is the Vanguard manufactured Club FJ: very similar, not identical to the original FJ or International Flying Junior, non-seat model. Please note that some International FJs with seats will require additional flotation to be installed if you want to be self-rescuing. This is a fast and lively boat. Learning on an FJ is similar to learning on a laser. You will learn a lot because it is very responsive. But it is not particularly stable. An Oday Day Sailer, an American/Holder14, a Rhodes 19, JY15, etc. might provide more stable platforms for the less athletic beginner.

Used Sailing dinghies for saleJeanneau rush, hallberg rassy 352 mk ii, trintella 1 a, reverso match, despuig cadaques k7, birdyfish version race, john kerr dipping lug, vector 6.50, beneteau first 14, why trust us , already 68 boats sold through us, what is a sailing dinghy, main features of a sailing dinghy. Sailing dinghies are sailboats with what is called a light construction and they mostly have a decked bow . They have at least one mainsail which can be complemented by a headsail (the jib) and a spinnaker (which will only be used for certain points of sail). The anti-drift plane consists of an unweighted, removable or pivoting daggerboard. The centreboard, the immersed part of the boat, combined with the sail thrust, enables the dinghy to go upwind. Measuring between 2 metres and 5 metres (sometimes more) in length and without any equipment to make them habitable, dinghies can't cope with difficult weather conditions, nor are they able to sail too far from the coast, so sailing dinghies are usually designed for 'beach' sailing . Like ballasted dinghies and full centerboarders, sailing dinghies obviously belong to the dinghy category; monohull sailboats fitted with a retractable daggerboard preventing them from drifting to windward. What makes sailing dinghies so fun to steer is their lack of keel and ballast on the daggerboard. This makes sailing dinghies faster and more thrilling but on the other hand, they lose stability. To compensate for this, the crew has to move sideways with a counter heel to reduce list and keep the boat balanced. Due to the lack of ballast to balance the boat, if you make any steering errors then you can expect to capsize regularly on a light dinghy. However, today's sailing dinghies are built in such a way that the crew can right the vessel easily. Sailing schools also include how to right a boat after capsizing as part of their basic training. Wearing a lifejacket makes things pretty safe even if you do capsize regularly. Sailing dinghies: popular sailing boats for competitionsWhether they're for 1 or 2 people, several light dinghies have made their mark on dinghy history. - the Optimist: often used for children's sailing lessons or as a racing dinghy, it is the smallest existing sailboat with a length of 2 metres;
- the Moth Europe: a light dinghy you can actually build yourself with a fixed length and sail area;
- the Finn: an Olympic dinghy with the mast arched backwards;
- the OK Yole: a light dinghy designed as a preparation boat for the Olympic Finn;
- the Vaurien: designed in 1951, this dinghy can be used by sailing schools and beginners as it's so easy to handle;
- the Mousse: dating from the 50's, it is easy to build a Mousse by yourself and it doesn't cost much;
- the 505: pronounced five-o-fifty, this competition dinghy designed for two crewmembers has all the typical characteristics of a dinghy for the first time;
- and the Caravelle: a school sailing boat which can hold a crew of 4 to 6 people.

IMO, the Flying Junior is a good boat for learning, but not a good boat for three to learn on simultaneously. And it also depends on the people. The FJ is a sit-on boat, not a sit-in boat. That means no back rest. Young people might not mind, but I would find it too uncomfortable after about an hour.

Pulling it up on may cause your boat to slip sideways. You need to adjust it based on conditions. 1/3 1/2 or 3/4 depends on what the boat is doing. In a blow you may want a bit of board down wind to maintain stability. Then practice your tacking. Make yourself smooth in the water.
