Dart HAWK Racing

Originally posted by Port End Flyer The recent Forts race results also appears to show that the F18's (Read Capricorn's!) have definitely gained some ground on the benchmark set by the Tornado’s!

Anybody know if a full set of results with elapsed times and handicaps used is available rather than the WYC handout that I have seen?

Thanks! - Embarrassingly obvious in the end

Hi, thanks for all the input. I  guess I may have been better off for racing if I had bought a Hurricane, but I think for getting me started and hopefully basic club racing I will be OK with the Hawk, even if it is a bit obsolete these days. I 'm sure the club will let me tag along at the back!.

But have you checked out the Hobie Miracle 20 , spooky or what !! Yes, they are remarkably similar !  Surprisingly so (don't ask Reg about it) Hadn’t come across that one myself but found this link pages 20 & 21 http://www.hobiecat.com/media/pdf/Hobie_Sailing.pdf With modified Nacra 6.0 sail and dagger boards?

 

More like a modified Hurricane 5.9 with  a Carbon mast and Daggerboards.  You put the two boats side by side and there is very little difference. (allegedly)
