Dart 16

A rotomolded racing cat that’s all attitude. It has exceptional performance and stability and by just adding the optional XD pack (mylar mainsail, double trapeze and gennaker), you get a completely different boat, more thrilling and even faster. Proven platform for thrill-seekers. Seriously high-tech components range from upgraded carbon tiller extension to performance traveller mainsheet system. In high winds, you can reef the mainsail. The Jib can be furled in seconds and in waves. Dart 16 is known as the best cat for schools as it handles better than many larger catamarans thanks to a unique hull shape. Skegs are incorporated into the hull design avoiding the need for daggerboards. The rudders can easily be lifted so launching from a beach is a breeze.
