About the ISO DINGHY
Beam with detachable wings 2.15m/7.05'. Spinnaker area 18.80sq m
The ISO Dinghy is a compact 15.55 ft trailerable sailboat designed by Ian Howlett & John Craig and built in 1990. With a displacement of 220.0 lb and a fractional sloop rig, it represents a lightweight, high-performance daysailer option.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for coastal daysailing, lake cruising, and trailerable transport due to its light displacement and compact dimensions.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a displacement of 220.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 3.8, this boat is not designed for offshore or bluewater cruising and is strictly intended for protected waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 15-foot trailerable daysailers from the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as the Sunfish or Laser, though the ISO offers a fractional sloop rig and greater beam for stability.
