We had one at my Grandfathers cabin on Torch Lake in Northern Michigan back in the 80's. Sunfish sail/mast. On a port tack, flying a hull, it was a hoot and considerably faster than the sunfish. Fun little boat for a couple of kids. Brings back memories. Thanks!

Interesting that in some photos the outrigger is to port, and in others it's to starboard. Or a negative was reversed.
Perhaps it could be assembled either way. -
