has gloss | eng: The Otter is a two man sailing dinghy with a glass fibre hull. Its rig consists of a main, a jib and an optional symmetric spinnaker. The hull dimensions are 11 ft 11 in length and 4 ft 10 in beam. The boat has a draft of 3 ft 6 in with the centreboard down. The sail area (main and jib) is 75 sq. ft. . The class symbol is a stylised glass bubble; due to the original lightweight "cigar box cedar" construction of the prototypes, the name Bubble was first used for the boat . John Baker obtained the plans for an expanded version of the boat in G.R.P and hence renamed the boat Glass Bubble . After being put into production by Baker, the name Otter was adopted; coming from the river of the same name in East Devon, close to where the boat was manufactured. |
