Gull is a sweet little 12-foot racing dinghy but she is still quite a ship, has plenty of stability and enough freeboard to take rough stuff. She’s all fiberglass, even the mast, and is designed for all-around service as well as racing. She will do very well with one of those mighty-mite outboards, she will row and tow well and her double bottom makes her unsinkable. The usual swelled centerboard trouble will never plague Gull because her centerboard as well as her trunk is fiberglass. The centerboard is not raised with a cable, but is adjusted with a folding rod that will stay at any point where there is an adjustment notch, and locks in any position. And Gull is simple to build, even for the unskilled workman who would ordinarily shrink from the precise joiner-work required to build a fine racing sailboat. Every effort has been made to help her prospective builders, including an inexpensive papier-mache mold from which one, or several boats can be molded. These molds are ideal for clubs and groups of individuals who wish to start a racing class.
