What is mobjack sailboat?

The Mobjack sailboat is a small, lightweight sailboat that was first designed and built in 1933 in the United States. Originally designed as a racing boat, the Mobjack quickly became popular for recreational sailing as well.

The boat is typically around 16-17 feet in length and has a narrow hull with a deep keel. It is designed to be sailed by a small crew of 1-2 people and can be rigged with either a mainsail and jib or a single Bermuda rig.

One unique feature of the Mobjack is its centerboard system, which allows for easy navigation in shallow waters. The centerboard can be raised and lowered as needed, making it possible for the boat to sail in as little as two feet of water.

Over the years, the Mobjack has become a popular boat for both racing and cruising, and many owners have become devoted fans of this classic sailboat.
