I have never seen a Dart but I looked up the specifications and it looks ideal as a youth boat, no boom to conk heads, kick up rudders so no panic, no centreboards and tough poly construction. When I ran a junior program I felt 14ft cats were plenty fast enough but they had centreboards and booms. If your son doesn't go out in heavy wind he should find it a lot of fun
