Yes, I understand that. But what will be the official class insignia? Are we reverting to to the old Dart 15 one?

So the Sprint 15 will soon be no more and the class name will revert to being the Dart 15. I suppose it makes sense seeing that Windsport now own the rights to the Dart 18. But what will be the class insignia? As a new class member this year I've arrived late at the party, so can someone tell me: ar...

Yes, its a very impressive and professional piece of work. Well done Yvonne!

I just wanted to say thank you to all those from both the Class Association and Windsport who I met for the first time over the weekend at Farnborough. Helping to run the stand was a real privilege; as a very new recruit to the class I was not the obvious choice to persuade others of the Sprint's se...

I reckon the move to Farnborough will be a flop. Certainly, it brings the show to nearer the RYA’s sphere of operations on the south coast. But will there be a reduced footfall? Originally, the show at Alexandra Palace was for enthusiasts in class associations. Classes were put on show to entice sa...

I know how difficult it can be to find a crew for sailing two-handed, but don't you think putting the dog in a trapeze harness is going a bit far?

Mark, that of course raises a more practical point; I have no official registration document for my boat, and never before having owned a single-manufcturer boat I don't even know if they exist in the same way as in more traditional classes. Should I have a measurement certificate or registration do...

Its very quiet on this forum. Is that just because Sprint sailors are mostly hibernating? For those who are awake, I have an interesting question, a philosophical one that might have a technical answer. Well I find it interesting, but then I'm probably a nerd... I've bought 1342 - but how do I know ...

Heh. I'm in the market for a good secondhand mainsail. If you're considering buying a new one for 2022 but are put off by the eye-watering cost (!) we might be able to help each other...

I've bought 1342 and she'll be sailing at Shoreham SC just as soon as the polar bears vacate the dinghy park.

As a (very) new member I'm looking forward to receiving a copy - or am I too late?

Hmm. Nothing heard, either to the post or PM, so I've just bought one. Roger, out.

I'm a complete newbie to the Sprint 15, but I'll be at the show on Sunday27th and having just bought 1342 I'd be happy to help man the stand if needed.

Now sorted - I've just bought 1342. This is where the fun begins...

Interesting... So apart from the fact that they leak, are difficult to steer, have masts that tend to bend and crack at the beam fittings - they're good boats?
