Sunburst (dinghy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sunburst is a two-handed, 3.5m (11.5 ft) centreboard sailing dinghy. It was designed in the late 1960's in New Zealand by John Balmain Brooke, where it was to become one of the most popular classes of boat. It is popular as a craft for teaching beginner sailors, and is actively raced in New Zealand.
The Sunburst is usually rigged with a mainsail, jib and spinnaker. Construction is of wood or fibreglass, with a minimum hull weight of 77kg.
