Mini JOD

The Mini JOD is a French trailerable sailboat that was designed by Daniel Andrieu as a one design racer and first built in 1994.

The boat is a scaled down development of the Andrieu 1991 JOD 35 (Jeanneau One Design 35).

Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1994, but it is now out of production.

Design
The Mini JOD is a very small and light racing keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, with two sets of unswept spreaders and aluminum spars with continuous stainless steel wire rigging and a roller furling jib. There is a retractable aluminum bowsprit. The hull has a nearly plumb stem, a reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a lifting keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 419 lb and has a maximum crew weight of 265 lb allowing crewing by one adult and one child.

The boat has a draft of 2.62 ft with the keel extended and 1.18 ft with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of 132.40 sqft, flown from the retractable bowsprit.

The design has a hull speed of 4.97 kn.
