Re: A philosophical question

Well I suppose Derik that the boat should have the paperwork from new, but quite honestly this is not a class for measuring and weighing so you don't need to be concerned. It would be extraordinary for such a boat to have strayed from standard specifications due to the general availability of the ma...

Re: A philosophical question

Which bit of the boat is the heart of 1342? For years I sailed with #19 as my sail number when the boat was/is actually #1989. I was too lazy to change the numbers on my sail from my previous boat (#1966), so just peeled off the 66 and left it. It wasn't uncommon for folk to say to me that for such...

Re: Out of Africa boats

Bob is spot on here & essentially if you are after a Dart 15 (sorry, Sprint 15) for cruising then the Africa boats will be OK on the assumption the leaky hulls are fixed.

If you are intending to race then just avoid them totally!
