These little mini-tonners were the pick of the crop in their racing heyday and, with their roomy accommodation and predictable handling, doubled as excellent pocket cruisers for family sailing between races.

An active owners' association still exists for help with queries and contacts.

Minx had new sails, new standing rigging and a new engine fitted for the start of the 2024 season, but circumstances (and the weather!) conspired against her owners plans and she is now offered for sale.

This boat’s superb racing pedigree combined with her cruising capabilities and refreshed rig and motor will provide a simple and great value first cruiser or introduction to racing for her new owner.
