Rocket or Sunfish or Aqua Fin

Rocket

There are 3 board boats on the market that I recommend. They are all great boats, and you really cannot go wrong by purchasing any of them, however the Rocket I feel is a step above the other two (Sunfish and Aqua Fin).

Sunfish

Aqua Finn

Both the Sunfish and Aqua Fin have a little square cockpit where you can put your feet. Originally the Sunfish was a board boat with no cockpit, but when the designer discovered his pregnant wife could not sail it with your leg getting in the way he inserted a square area for her to put her feet and thus the current design, which the Aqua Fin copied. The Rocket does not have a small square cockpit but a full length 6-foot cockpit, where you can literally lay down in.

All 3 boats come with a single Lateen Sail (Triangle sail). The Rocket does offer an alternative square top high-performance sail.

Rocket

The Rocket is also lighter and more of a model spin off of the other boats. Originally the Rocket was called the Phantom, but Dave with Fulcrum Speed Works purchased the models and building rights and upgraded it to its current lightweight but durable design. I might add Dave with Speed Works use to build Lasers with his father many years ago, so his boat building experience and design skills are legendary.

I do not sell the Rocket, but I highly recommend it, if you are looking for a board boat buy a Rocket. Click Here to learn more and purchase.
