A Happy Examiner
This afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting a very
experienced dinghy cruising sailor who wanted to see ‘Minnow’ in the flesh. I’m
delighted that he found her as expected, and that he appreciated what she had
to offer, especially the ease with which she can be reefed.
Another feature he particularly liked was being able to sit
facing forwards while steering with tiller lines. Unlike most cruising
dinghies, her crew can control the boat without being exposed to the elements. When
the sun is shining, the hatch is slid forward, so that her skipper is warmed by
the sun, and yet he is not exposed to wind or spray. If the going gets tough,
and all hell is let loose, he simply closes the hatch, rolls in a deep reef and
relaxes on cushions below. Fresh air enters the cabin through the mast box vent.
Oilskins are obsolete. The only time they are required is when ashore.
The Paradox experience is unlike any other, and those who
own these vessels are forever telling of their merits. They become zealous
missionaries who passionately want to share the good news. The problem is that few
can enter the narrow gate, because they have to build a Paradox, or be
fortunate enough to find one for sale.
