Wouter,

Yup - same boat - loved it. No boom, one string to pull, main reefed, jib furled, could set it up in 20 mins. Unbreakable. All good.

Loved it until I raced it for the first time with the RI N6.0 fleet and they were gone in an instant. If there had been a fleet of Dart 16's I would have kept it.

There was one other in RI, owned by Vanguard and that one didnt get raced, so no competition to race against.

A few Dart 16's got imported to the USA by Vanguard. Vanguard marketed them as the "Lazer Cat" for a very brief time and then dropped the idea. Steve told me he couldnt get the margin on them he needed after importing them.
