The Pixxy 2.35 is a stable, easily adaptable dinghy,
making beginners classes for children a genuine pleasure. Young helmsmen will
be particularly attracted by the fashionable design and especially sleek-looking
tiller.
Comfortable : The extra-spacious cockpit and wide, user-friendly
tanks make teaching children easy and the whole sailing experience more pleasurable
still.
Practical : This dinghy carries especially well due to
wide, solid "wing" strakes which, along with the restoring torque, make it easy
to handle and the hull particularly resistant. The boom is positioned high enough
to nullify any potential problems when beating. A small tank at the front of the
dinghy offers convenient storage for the towing line and a dry place in which
to keep smaller items. The semi-open rear transom keeps the sheet firmly in
place, whilst the Optimist-model centre-board, rudder head and rigging can all
be adapted to the Pixxy.
Safe : The Pixxy is as safe a vessel
as the Optimist. Righting is made especially easy thanks to the design of the
self-draining cockpit and the voluminous double bunt and tanks. In addition, the
bolt-rope mast and reefing enable free and easy sailing with the fastest possible
reduction in speed, partial or total. Children can board this vessel easily due
to the semi-open design of the rear transom.
Construction materials
: Felt/polyester sandwich structure with plywood-reinforced deck fittings.
The double bunt is linked to the hull via a pre-moulded, laminated polyester structure,
guaranteeing extra stability throughout this one-piece vessel.
Version
FUN : Mylar sail, tail mast, Harken deck fittings.
