Hello, my name is Dave Chamberlain of Chula Vista, California. This web site is a project dedicated to all trailer sailors who dream of blue-water sailing in their small sailboat. "Mini" is the name of my 20' twin-keeled Vivacity which sailed from San Diego to Hawaii in 1992. Welcome and thank you for visiting.

"mini" is a 20 foot British twin-keeled yawl. She started out as a Vivacity class sloop and has been modified. She was built in Barcelona, Spain in 1967. We purchased her from Carl Hubbell on January of 1988 for $1500. At the time, I owned a Venture 21 which I cruised and raced here in Chula Vista, a city in south San Diego Bay, California. I really enjoyed my Venture 21. She won a lot of races and was easy to trailer. There were three things about the Venture that made me dream about finding a different small cruiser: 1) She was so light and fragile. 2) She drew 5'11" with her keel locked in the down position. 3) Her cabin was very small and tight. |
