The Bombardier 4.8 is a Canadian sailing dinghy that was designed by Bombardier Research as a day sailer and first built in 1982.[1][2]

Production

The design was built by Bombardier Limited in Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3]

Design

The Bombardier 4.8 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with polyurethane flotation and aluminum spars. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a vertical transom, a flip-up, transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a flip-up centreboard keel. It displaces 300 lb (136 kg) and can accommodate four people.[1][2]

The design features an adjustable outhaul, boom vang, Cunningham and a roller furling genoa. It is also fitted with adjustable hiking straps. There is a small stowage compartment in the bow.[2]

The design employs a vacuum cockpit self-bailer that can be left open when the boat is stationary.[2]

The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.50 ft (0.15 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

The design can also mount a spinnaker of 140 sq ft (13 m2).[1][2]
