The Pixel is a boat for the new century. It is stable, roomy, fast and self-bailing – a giant step into the future of small boat design. It is designed as a junior trainer, but has the legroom and capacity for adult enjoyment as well.The 13′ 9″ sloop was designed by Bruce Kirby, who also designed the Laser, a series of highly sucessful International dinghies, the Sonar and the Ideal 18.
As a fun, fast boat that has the best that modern technology and design can offer, the PIXEL appeals to a wide range of sailors. The stable, self –bailing open cockpit is comfortable and easy to move around in keeping sailors feeling safe and in control. The epoxy hull is both lighter and stronger than traditional polyester fiberglass giving better performance and greater longevity. The carbon fiber mast means lighter weight aloft for better performance without reducing sail area. It also makes it easier for smaller sailors to rig and de-rig. Whether a “seasoned salt”, beginning sailor or somewhere in between, the PIXEL has something to offer everyone!
“The PIXEL was designed to teach kids how to sail together, how to work together, and how to interact in making the boat sail at its best.” Bruce Kirby
