The Windmill is an
open planing boat with main and jib, and is normally raced with a crew
of two. Its unique construction puts the flotation along the sides,
giving it a comfortable gunwale to sit on, yet eliminating the extra
weight of a deck. The boat easily planes, and is easily handled by two
people, not just while sailing, but while launching. One person can set
up the Windmill in less than 15 minutes.
The boat was originally
wood, and many fine examples are available today. Modern Windmills are
fiberglass. Plans are available to allow you to build a Windmill
yourself. It is not a difficult boat to build, and should make a fun
project. Our fleet has been on Lake Jacomo for over 25 years.
