More pictures of the Small can be seen on my Photo Gallery page.

This photo of Small was taken in April of 1999 in the Point Judith salt pond during the builders & designers trials.

A review of Small was featured in the June, 2001 issue of Sailing Magazine.

Small is a glued lapstrake Dayboat designed by Antonio Dias for Jenny Bennett, currently editor of Maritime Life and Traditions, as part of Antonio's book, Designer & Client, published by WoodenBoat. This update of the classic British Dayboat is intended as a family daysailor; as happy on a trailer as crossing a lake or exploring a coastal harbor.

"The air is cold and heavy here in April, so a 15 knot breeze has more weight in it than warm summer air at the same velocity. We found Small to be easy to rig and a delight to sail. Helm balance was 'one finger' and the boat was easy to keep on her feet. As the breeze picked up closer to 20 knots we dropped the jib and sailed under full main. Either way she tacked well and balanced easily. At one point we sailed off a shoal beach into 20-knot breeze in a foot of water and were able to tack out making good progress to windward with just a sliver of board down and the rudder kicked up. If caught in a strong gust, she will bury the rail but gives no sense of wanting to go over. Easing the sheet brings her back up with the bucket full of water she swallowed the only penalty for the moments inattention!"
