The Sprint 15 is sold in the U.K. through Windsport who are providing the official spares service to existing Dart 15 owners. Brian Phipps is very well known within the Cat sailing fraternity for his work in getting young sailors into cats, but back in cat history, in the early seventies he was also involved, alongside Ian Fraser, in the manufacture of Dart products, laminating hulls, assembling parts at a time when everything was done on site. Things have changed but some of those aspects were well tested and it is his intention to bring some of those aspects back.

You can now order most parts for your boat on line at catparts.windsport.co.uk we will keep adding to it and when you cannot find a part let me know and I will get it added. There will soon be a search option on the website that should allow you to search by word, Dart number, Laser number or Windsport stock number.
