Mini JOD

The Mini JOD is a sailboat that was designed as a one design racer and first built in 1994.¹²³⁴⁵

The boat is a scaled down development of the Andrieu 1991 JOD 35 (Jeanneau One Design 35).⁵

The design was built by Jeanneau in France, starting in 1994, but it is now out of production.¹²⁵⁶⁷

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 (190 kg) and has a maximum crew weight of 265 lb (120 kg) allowing crewing by one adult and one child.¹²⁵

The boat has a draft of 2.62 ft (0.80 m) with the keel extended and 1.18 ft (0.36 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.¹²⁵

For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with an asymmetrical spinnaker of 132.40 sq ft (12.300 m²), flown from the retractable bowsprit.¹²⁵

The design has a hull speed of 4.97 kn (9.20 km/h).²
