Here is an excellent example of a Hobie Open 570, made by Phileas of France.. Its retractable keel and low-rise, custom trailer makes this a launch it anywhere sailboat. Hobie Opens are similar to the Melges 20, Ultimate 20, Laser SB3, Lightning and Flying Scott. Marc Finot, of Beneteau First fame designed the Open 570. One exceptional modification is the Lewmar-40 self-tailing winch to raise/lower the ballasted keel from the cockpit. Just sit on the port gunwale and crank. This boats electronics and winch approximates a Beneteau First 20 for a fraction of the cost. All sails, including the spinnaker are hoisted and controlled from the safety of the cockpit.
