• Quick to rig and launch   While the 'wide version' needs to be moored, the 'narrow version' is trailable width.
  The rigging remains attached, and the mast can be raised using the winch, getting it as quickly on the water
  as any other trailable boat.
• Safe and stable platform  With a full length trampoline between the raised cabins you would need to try very
  hard to fall off ... so it's safe for young families and those new to sailing.  The boomless main is easy to control
  and safe when going about, and the handling characteristics are very forgiving.
• Cruising and camping   Owing to the limited size cruising accommodation is minimal ... it's possible for an adult
  to stretch out in comfort in each hull, but even better to rig a boom tent or a camping tent on the trampoline.
• >Performance   The Windrush comes from before modern developments in sailing technology, but responds well to
  rig improvements.  It sails well in higher winds, and if sailed aggressively it can hold its own in multihull events

Researching information on the net revealed that there wasn't a single repository of data about these vessels, and very little
evidence to show how many are still sailing.
This site has become such a repository, collecting as much information as I can about these versatile vessels.
If you own such a boat, know of any owner, have an enquiry, or can update me on the history of any boat, please email me
