Best Small Sailboat to Learn Sailing - Sea Snark 100

The Sea Snark 100 has been around for over 50 years and is still on the market. The all foam construction of this low budget sailboat make it easy to afford and fast on the water. With the ability to strap down and be hauled in or on most vehicles. I have sailed a sea snark 100 my whole life and still love sailing this boat. Daysailers are entry level boats that make sailing easy to learn sailing as a beginner. With a low budget for boating this sea snark fits my needs for a small sailboat.

I currently own one, I have a blast sailing it. I up graded the rudder and a new sail.

One of my favorite parts is the way you are sitting in your video. I can lounge with my back to the side like a backrest and feet over the other side. Beats sitting up right any day.

I owned one back around 1970. The only design flaw I ever noticed was that the plywood daggerboard would float partway up if not weighted down.

I have been looing around for one for quite some time. I finally lucked out and got this past weekend for free, and it's in great shape for a 1981 Snark.

My family had 2 Super Snarks - the bright yellow version which had an ABS plastic coating over the foam. They were the best. I could throw it on a VW Bug (roof racks added) and head out to the nearby lake. The hull only weighed 50lbs. They are unsinkable - even with 5 people and full of water the hull did not sink. Unfortunately the company that currently owns the molds for the hull is not currently making them. :-(. If you find a used one for sale, make sure the foam is not waterlogged before buying. Don't worry about the attachments, you can still buy replacements for those. Also, you can buy a pirate flag sail if you want.

I found one in great condition at a great price several years ago. I only used it one because I found it too uncomfortable. I did like it's light weight and simplicity though.

Hello, thank you for this great video! I have a question: what is the real weight of this boat?? I recently found a few Sunflowers for sale but they where nowhere near 50 lbs but much much heavier. I weight one of them and that was 77lbs.. Unfortunately I found it to heavy to handle singlehanded. Is it possible to peel of the ABS skill?

Waiting for this one to snap in half 😂
