Design
The Phantom 14 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with a foam core. It has a stayed catboat rig or sloop rig with the additional of the optional jib. It has a rotating, watertight anodized aluminum mast and full battened Dacron mainsail. The hulls have raked stems, vertical transoms, transom-hung, kick-up rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable kick-up centreboards. The boat displaces 198 lb (90 kg).[1][2][4]
The boat has a draft of 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with the centerboards extended and 0.23 ft (0.070 m) with them retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof rack. A two-piece mast is available to facilitate ground transport and storage.[1][2]
The boat can be sailed with one or two people.[2]
