I have a book somewhere that described her as a three man , but that the trapeze enabled two to sail her. You may be able to sail singlehanded with yourself in the trapeze, which I believe Paul Elvstrom did as the helmsman, and the crew using hiking straps.

If you are looking for a high performance singlehander with trapeze, check out the Contender, but hard to find: | | | 28-07-2023, 04:41 | | Boat: plastic production boat, suitable for deep blue water ;) | after that, I have been drooling over it.

IMO, the Flying Junior is a good boat for learning, but not a good boat for three to learn on simultaneously. And it also depends on the people. The FJ is a sit-on boat, not a sit-in boat. That means no back rest. Young people might not mind, but I would find it too uncomfortable after about an hour.
