Megabyte

The Bruce Farr designed
Megabyte
is one of those dinghies that does everything just right. This dinghy has a single, powerful 100 sq. ft. main carried on a marvelously, light, flexible carbon fiber mast. Incorporated in its 14 ft. 7 inch frame, are all the years of dinghy manufacturing experience of Ian Bruce, the builder of the original Laser. The cockpit is wide and deep with perfectly beveled sides allowing the sailor to hike or sit inboard in maximum comfort. The boat plains easily, upwind and down. Originally designed as the “gentleman’s Finn” it was targeted for a single sailer in the 200-225 lbs. weight range. But that attempt to categorize the Megabyte falls short. First, it comes with two sets of hiking straps so it is easy to load a crew on board. The boat sails well even with 400 lbs. on board. The full amidships traveler, powerful vang, Cunningham and outhaul on the flexible mast means that the lighter sailer can easily de-power the boat and handle higher wind conditions.
