Designed by renowned naval architect Phil Morrison in 1995, this compact 15-foot centerboard dinghy represents a thoughtful approach to small boat sailing. Built by Comet Dinghies in the UK using fiberglass construction, the Trio offers durability and consistency that wooden alternatives often lack. With its fractional sloop rig and generous sail area of 135 square feet, this lightweight 320-pound dinghy delivers spirited performance whether you're learning the basics or honing racing skills. The 6-foot beam provides stability for newer sailors while maintaining the responsiveness that keeps experienced helms engaged. The 3.20-foot draft centerboard configuration allows exploration of shallow waters and easy beach launching. Morrison's design philosophy shines through in the boat's balanced proportions and forgiving handling characteristics. The SA/Displacement ratio of 46.22 indicates lively performance potential, while the capsize screening formula of 3.51 confirms this is definitively a protected water vessel best suited for lakes, harbors, and coastal sailing in moderate conditions. The Trio excels as a club racer, training platform, or spirited day sailer for small crews. Its combination of performance potential and approachable handling makes it equally at home in sailing schools and competitive fleets.
