The Lark class will be returning to the Dinghy Show this year, sharing the Synergy stand (L32).

Visitors will be able to see a brand-new Lark, which has yet to touch the water. It has been produced from new moulds, which represent a substantial investment by the class and Synergy Marine. Its near-sister ship was launched last Summer and was instantly fast.

The result is an eye-catching boat of exceptional build quality. It has been fitted out with the latest Allen fittings and state-of-the-art systems. Orders are now being taken for delivery in 2026.

The Lark class is in good health, with National Championships lined up at the UK's premier sailing/holiday venues. In 2026, we will return to Fowey, where we expect the biggest turnout for some years. In 2027, we will return to Looe for our 60th anniversary year, which promises to be huge! Then in 2028, we return to Weymouth Town, sailing in the unbeatable Weymouth Bay.

We also have a great Open programme lined up for 2026, including Rock, Itchenor, Northampton and Weymouth Town - plus early-season training at Weymouth in April.

So if you are looking for a 3-sail, 2-person boat, which is challenging but affordable - and a fun class and great venues - look no further!

We will have class members on the stand who will be happy to talk through all the benefits of this great class. We would also love to see current and past Lark sailors - please come and have a chat!
