The Buccaneer (aka Buccaneer 18) is a day sailer for pleasure sailing as well as racing; it is sailed throughout North America. Designed in 1966 by Rod Macalpine-Downie and Dick Gibbs, the Buccaneer incorporates classic elements that have made this racing dinghy a consistent performer for more than 35 years. Due to its hull design, the Buccaneer planes in 8-10 knots of wind. An integrated spinnaker launch tube, roller furling jib, and well-constructed sailplan, 7'3" cockpit with non-skid seats, deck and floor make it a good two-handed racing dinghy. Well balanced and easily handled, the Buccaneer continues to appeal to both seasoned competitors and new sailors. Weighing 500 pounds, the Buccaneer requires a trailer and winch to be launched. A comfortable cockpit arrangement and simple rigging round out the Buccaneer's design, make it a good day sailer for the family. ==Features== *It's a "sit in" rather than a "sit on" boat. *The sloop design includes a spinnaker with launch tube. *The waterline is as nearly symmetrically heeled as possible, eliminating much of the weather helm caused by heeling. *The wide beam at the waterline plane eliminates the need for a trapeze. *The boat's potential performance exceeds that of any non-trapeze design so that it is capable of handsomely rewarding the skills of the helmsman and crew. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buccaneer (dinghy)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
