The Dart 18 Worlds were held in South Africa over the Christmas Holiday. It was won by Brit, Matt Pullen, sailing a new South African Collins built Dart 18. He said, subject to a couple of equipment niggles the hull quality and stiffness etc was very good and the boat sailed really well. He used their new rudder blades (made from the mould recently shipped from the UK) and they were fine.
Meanwhile Brian Phipps of Windsport (aided by the Sprint 15 Association) is taking orders for the first container of 9 Sprint 15s from South Africa. We need another 2 to be ordered before Windsport can place the order and confirm delivery (expected to be in mid May). So if you are thinking about buying a Sprint 15 - don't delay. Call Brian or Cookie on 01326 376191.
