Bimini, a Griffin design
Description
The Bimini is a charming, classic small sailboat (often called a dinghy or daysailer) designed by Griffin Boat Designs. It's a lightweight, trailerable monohull with elegant lines, suitable for coastal daysailing, lake fun, or as a tender—popular in Australia and occasionally spotted in used markets. This design emphasizes simplicity, good performance in light to moderate winds, and easy handling, making it ideal for solo or family outings. It's fiberglass or plywood construction (some home-built variants), with a shallow draft for beaching and launching.
