Mike,

If anyone needs to know anything about the Dart 20 (or 18) I have a copy of the manual and class rules. There is no mention of min. weight.

This cat is out of production, but is still sailed in Europe, mainly in Holland. It would never be raced singlehanded in European winds for safety reasons - difficult to right.



Another subject: I noticed in the Dart 20 rules that it states that both rudders must be down at all times when racing. This is normal practise in most classes in Europe. Why do Hobie sailors indulge in the dangerous practice of sailing with one rudder raised. There is no advantage when class racing.
