Back to Dart.

[Derik Palmer]

So the Sprint 15 will soon be no more and the class name will revert to being the Dart 15. I suppose it makes sense seeing that Windsport now own the rights to the Dart 18. But what will be the class insignia? As a new class member this year I've arrived late at the party, so can someone tell me: are we going to go back to the same insignia as the 18,or keep the current Sprint one? It'll be a bit of a bummer if we have to go back to the old Dart one; I think the current one is much better looking and more recognisable too. And its not long since I bought a nice crisp sail for my boat with the Sprint insignia on it; it would be a great shame to mess it up changing it all back...

You don't need to change anything on your sail. You can sail with a Spark logo on your sail if you want.

[Derik Palmer]

Yes, I understand that. But what will be the official class insignia? Are we reverting to to the old Dart 15 one?

I much prefer the original Dart 15 logo. It’s a profile of a hull. The interim logo meant nothing to me.

Hi Derik

I partially agree with your view on the logo. The Dart insignia still makes sense as it's a representation of the boat and links with the 18. The lettering does feel rather dated though.

[Corky the Cat]

We might call our class Dart 15. But our association website is still headed Sprint Association.

[Liam]

We haven't changed the name yet.

[Corky the Cat]

Fancy that!

Will Windsport be the agent for the Dart 16 as well?
