Just to draw attention - there are a couple of Sprints for sale on Apollo Duck listed under Dart 15. One of them SN 1150, belongs to a fellow sailor at Carsington and, from my memory, is in pretty good condition. The owner, James Nicholls, has decided to stop sailing in the meantime and concentrate ...

And what's more:
Save for the Unicorns who had 9 boats at their event, The Sprint 15 Class is the only catamaran class to run a 2020 nationals never mind two!

Hi All Some really good tips here from Dave on how to really enjoy the thrills of sailing in Sport mode which, in my view, makes the boat come alive and is a real boon for old gits like me when going upwind - saves all that hiking and exploding kneecaps! Just a couple of thoughts to add if I may: 1....

Just to advise the community. The club mate who was looking for a trailer has had a change of plan and has decided to buy a new one.
Many thanks to those who responded to my original message.
Stay safe

I'm on the case at Carsington, Jenny - will keep you posted!

Hi Frank,
Do you want to sell it? Any details on age and condition?
Thanks

Does anyone have a decent secondhand trailer for sale? Wanted by a new recruit to the Carsington fleet who wants to travel. Here's hoping.......

Just to update the S15 Community - a few of us have arranged a trip to Windsport for a week or so from Sunday 30 August to do a bit of distance socialising on and off the water. The idea came for Brian after our Nationals were cancelled. (I note also that the Dart 18 Nationals due to be held at Wind...

Hi Paul, I have the same issue sometimes on my relatively new boat. I'd echo the erudite comments from others but would add: clearly the boat is head to wind before dropping the sail but if you put it slightly off head to wind so that the luffing sail naturally aligns to the starboard side of the bo...

Great job, Yvonne, in such testing times - many thanks.

Just to keep all members posted on this - see also my recent posting on the Dinghy Show at which the RYA presented to us an initial 'heads up' on the results of the Class Association Members' survey. This note is just to a say a BIG 'thank you' to all those who took the time to respond to the survey...

A HUGE 'thank you' to all the volunteers who helped man the stand over the weekend to showcase our great sailing class. A BIG 'shout out' to David for providing a simply stunning example of a used boat as the centrepiece of the stand. His 2020 championship winning boat looked 'just out of the box' d...

Thanks to all who have offered help so far. We're nearly there with cover to man the stand- BUT- We still need a couple of willing volunteers to help out on the Sunday between 9.30-11.30 in the morning and 1.30-3.30 in the afternoon. If you can spare an hour or so around these times, please get in t...
