MFG 19
Description
The MFG 19 is a lightweight, trailerable fiberglass daysailer built by MFG Boat Company (also known as Molded Fiberglass, USA) starting in 1977. It's a simple, affordable entry-level boat with a fin keel and masthead sloop rig, designed for responsive sailing and good light-air performance in protected waters or lakes—popular among families and beginners for its forgiving handling, stability, and ease of launch/trailering (swing keel/centerboard in some variants for shallows). Exact designer is not credited in records, and production numbers are modest (low thousands estimated across MFG's small sailboat line in the 1970s–80s).
