[quote=nofearofflying]now have 2 dart 18 s, both green with pink sails! great cat, very fast in high winds on great south bay, south shore long island n.y. winds usually s.w. every afternoon 15 to 23 knots, can keep up with 5.7 Nacra (have one of those too),jib is petite doilee sized but single handed it does not matter. use to race small English sports cars(triumph,m.g.,Austin Healey) that always broke down, for some unfathomable reason these English built darts hold up and r well designed. skegs make it a drag to pull boat along sand to water so we have a winch set up to pull them back up the beach at end of day. would love to find a Florida beach to trailer down to this winter, since friends up here in north east getting ready for ice boating.100 pounds lighter than my old 5,2 I lost to Sandy. much lighter than Nacra 5.7 which has become too hard for me to singlehand anymore. Would love to try them out in the Atlantic , but 70 now and discretion is the better part of valor when it comes to sailing well off shore[/quote]
