That's cool. I like all the labels for the lines. Have you taken it out yet?
I saw quite a few running around Marina del Rey (CA) a few decades ago. Have not seen any recently, but I'm sure they are still around. Looks like a very fun boat.
The Lake Harriet Yacht Club here in Minneapolis has a number of them that they use for their adaptive sailing program for sailors with physical challenges. They are really cool boats and I'd love to get in one. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to get to this program. https://www.lhycsailing.com/racing/
Very cool boat, Robbie!

Looks like it would be a fun boat.

I watched Dennis Conner and Terry McLaughlin match race mini-12's in Bedwell Harbour, South Pender Island many years ago.Brings back memories!
Congratulations on your acquisition. Many years ago there were a couple of mini 12s at a local club. A friend was a member there and invited me to sail with him. We had a blast racing around the bay in them for a few hours one afternoon. The ones I sailed had a tiller in front of the seat rather than foot pedals. The tiller controlled the rudder through ropes so I can see how you could adapt either way. I believe they were set up for paraplegics without use of their legs. Very fun boats with a lot of strings to pull so they can be quite technical to race.
It a 2.4M class boat. The illusions (I think) were made in the UK. Norlin also made them in Sweden. Quite the blast. Busy slow. As Danny notes the are a good AS boat, as long as the student has the mobility to get in, and the motor control to use the controls solo. At WYC we use adapted Solings.
Brian, Toyed around with it last year. It's a real blast to sail. Remarkably fast and turns on a dime. Takes a little while to get use to it. Foot pedal steering is a little strange at first. I haven't used the spiniker yet because that halyard was not working last year. Over all this thing really is awesome to sail. Last year had a few learning curves to work out. One thing I did learn right out of the gate was how to launch it from the trailer. 1st attempt didn't go as planned. Put the mast up and all the standing and running rigging up with out any issues. Removed all the tie down straps from the trailer. Rolled it back down the ramp, so far so good. It started to float, and had to give it a little push to clear the trailer pads. Then it slipped off the trailer and floated back about six feet. Few seconds later it capsized and sank. I forgot to put the lead waight sin the keel, was a little top heavy. Fortunately nobody was around to see that, but I still thought it was pretty funny nevertheless. What guy ever reads a manual. After about an hour trying to get it floating again. Went sailing for hours, and had a blast. My wife said that I told her that I was only going to be out on the water for an hour. I was gone for two, but when I told what had happened, the one hour it took to re-float it doesn't count for my sailing time.

I think I saw a bunch of these on the hard at the Royal Vic Yacht Club outside Victoria BC..

Hi, I looking at a mini 12 mtr. on trailer. I am glad I read about the chap who launched his off the trailer fully rigged and it rolled over. I would have done the same.
Looks like a fun boat. All the skippers looked to be wearing dry suits. Makes me think it is a wet boat to sail. With so much of the hull beneath the water and so little free board, how do you keep it afloat? It looks like it could easily become a submarine. A fun one.
It looks like a blast to sail. I would be up for a test sail If I found one.
Capt Robbie said: JSsailem, Very little freeboard, and you do get wet a lot, but that's half the fun!! It has air tight compartments to prevent it from sinking, however you can submerge the stern. That makes it a little chalanging to get going again. Just learned how to pump out fast Over all still a blast to sail. Click to expand
