The concept behind the developement was to create a small multi-purpose dinghy with all the benifits of the stable, light-weight hull of the "Lug Bug", and incorporate a very simple, brightly coloured, easily spotted rig, and appeal to the kids as a trainer, as well as providing a purposeful, low-maintenance tender for all ages.
It is a good load carrier and rows very well.Re-designing the internal moulding and hull/deck joint is just one of developements we carried out, this creates a double-skin, which gives the "FUN BUG" a huge bouyancy chamber, as well as incorporating both bow and stern seats. We have also used Alloy spars, and replaced the wood centre thwart with an easy to clean grp moulding in keeping with the rest of the totally modern structure. The transom is reinforced with bonded in marine ply, this allows the use of a small outboard motor (3.3hp. max). or even the use of electric outboards, ( sometimes a requirement on inland waters). We have kept the rudder and dagger board in marine ply and these are painted with a tough two-pack paint system.
The "FUN BUG" really is a very low-maintenance, Car-toppable, value for money, sailing trainer/tender, ideal for kids of all ages.
