I bought this Dart 16 for Cruising and I'm having a fantastic time in it. It seems to have the stability of a wayfarer with the speed of a 49er (almost!). I want to get hold of a Gennaker for it but the price (£600) is a bit extreme. I doubt if there are going to be many second hand ones around so I wondered if anyone has the dimensions so I could get something similar. Is there a popular racing mono with a similar sized and shape sail (bound to be loads of 2nd hand sails in this category). While on the price of sails, how come I can buy a brand new 10sqm windsurf sail for £400 when the Dart main is twice the price. There seems to be far more work goes into windsurf sails along with more exotic materials. Sorry if I'm sounding like a cheapskate

Having just spent the summer working for mark warner, our dart kites got a bit trashed for obvious reasons, so we had to use a vago kite, which seemed to last alright, so maybe one of those is worth a look at ------------- Jp Indoe Contender 518 Buzz591 Chew Valley Sailing club Bristol |
