Used Manley Junior Sailboats for Sale

The Manley Junior is a celebrated Australian junior racing dinghy, recognized for its role in developing young sailors. Measuring just under 9 feet in length overall, this fractional sloop was conceived as an accessible and enjoyable platform for youth training and competitive racing. Designed by Ralph Tobias, the Manley Junior has become synonymous with grassroots sailing in Australia, offering a robust and engaging introduction to the sport. While initially designed for home builders, its enduring popularity led to its adaptation for fiberglass construction, with prominent builders like Dinghy Sports carrying on its legacy today.
