Access 2.3 Wide
With the same simplicity of rig and steering, and security of ballast centerboard and roller reefing, the Wide is an ideal entry level craft for clubs and schools, and as a family fun boat craft as it can be comfortably handled by two small children, an adult or child, or their grand parents.

-
Hull has positive buoyancy & heavily rockered for easy maneuverability.

Strong construction with solid bonded hull to deck joins.

With the seat keeping the helms weight low plus weighted centerboard type keel, the boat is virtually uncapsizable.

Reefed and unreefed by a single hauling line.
-
Mainsail controlled by a manual mainsheet.
-
High boom is kept well away from helms head.
-
The boat, mast and boom fit neatly and easily onto standard car roof bars.
-
Available in many different colors with a colored flash on the sail for easily distinguishable fleet sailing, which is very useful for safety monitoring and video/photo feedback.
-
So simple and stable almost anyone can use these boats.
-
Extremely comfortable, nimble and above all great fun.

* NOTE: The stability of an Access Dinghy relies on the body weight of a sailor being kept low in the boat, thereby lowering the center of gravity. It is therefore recommended that sailors weighing over 100 kg / 220 lbs. should sail the larger Access 303
