Minnow

Junk-rig

Minnow is a 21ft junk-rigged sailing yacht converted in 2019 from a Freedom 21.

Built circa mid 1980s, this little bilge-keeler was rescued and refurbished by the current owners after languishing in a marina on the River Itchen in Southampton.

Originally with twin lifting keels, these are now permanently ‘down’, though unsuitable to ‘take the ground’.

Her distinctive grey junk sail marks her out; designed by David Tyler, and built by Sebastian Hentschel of tuchwerkstatt in Germany.

On board are four comfortable berths and basic catering facilities.
