About the AQUA FINN
The Aqua Finn is a compact lateen-rigged sailboat built by American Sail Inc. in 1981. With a displacement of 130.0 lb and a LOA of 13.75 ft, it represents a niche design from the early 1980s, though specific build counts are not available in the source data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits solo sailors or couples seeking a lightweight, portable day-sailer for protected waters, particularly those interested in the unique handling characteristics of a lateen rig.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 130.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.29, the Aqua Finn is strictly a coastal day-sailer and is not suitable for offshore or bluewater passage making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other small lateen or lug-rigged designs from the 1980s, such as the Finn or similar small centerboarders, due to the shared emphasis on simplicity and light displacement.
