Hello, I got my second-hand #1571 with 2 sails, the first one is the standard sail, the other one is a square top sail made by Forward and almost new. Apart from a small problem with hooking the Forward sail I would love to hear your comments about the differences, advantages/drawbacks of those sail...

Thanks Mark, Bob and Liam for the replies with tips. I have packed the gaps between hulls and clips with aluminum plates after having checked that the hulls were parallel. Buying a new tramp is not in the cards right now as I have to test the boat in the water first. Liam, I read your account about ...

Thanks Liam

Hello all, I bought my Sprint last fall and I am preparing it for the season. My trampoline has been locally fabricated with the warp parallel to the hulls thus tightening the trampoline doesn't pull the hulls together. I have about a 6 to 7mm play between the hulls and the rear beam clips. I loosen...

I bought this boat in Roscoff in October 2021. It was imported by France Catamaran in November 1990. The receipts I got with the boat show that I am at least the 4th owner.

Thanks, Thierry

Thanks for the good words of encouragement. I am a bit suspicious about the trampoline as it is new but made by a local sailmaker. Will see.

Hello, I live in Loctudy, Brittany. I might acquire a Sprint 15 soon. Next Monday I am going to check over #1571, a boat made in November 1990 according to the ad. Could someone tell me if it is possible to know where this boat was built and if there is any inherent weakness I need to be aware of wh...
