For sale - Laser Dart 16 beach catamaran in good working condition with galvanised braked road trailer (includes lockable aluminium storage box for all rigging and sails etc and room for a Laser sailing dinghy or camping gear on the flat bed) and launching trolleyDart 16 CatamaranI bought this catamaran second hand in 2014 to teach my daughter to sail. Since I have owned it, it has had new hatch covers (screw on lids that access the insides of the hulls), new jib sheets (ropes), new rudder bungees and a new wind indicator.It is a very easy boat to sail, I am a large guy and the lack of a boom (fully battened main sail) is great as you don't get hit on the head as you go about! (I've always had this problem with my laser dinghy).The jib sail has a furling system so if the wind gets up whilst you are out you can just furl the jib in a bit to de-power the rig. The mainsail also has a slab reefing point which is very easy to use.It has been a great boat, ideal for teaching the kids on, and is very roomy, stable and fast in light to moderate winds.The roto moulded 'Tecrothene' hulls are very durable and can with stand beach landings really well (unlike fibreglass hulls).The boat has been sat on the trailer in our garden since October last year and the hulls haven't taken in any water.I also have a trapeze harness that the crew wears to hike out on the trapeze (somewhere in the attic) that is included in the sale.The reason it is now up for sale is that we have a ski boat and the catamaran isn't getting used now so time to pass it on for someone else to enjoy."The Dart 16 is a modern beach catamaran that is fast, affordable, and seaworthy. Like most Dart catamarans except for the Dart 20 EXP it lacks the main , as well as , , and complicated trimming mechanisms.The lower part of the hulls have skegs typical for a beach catamaran. The most noticeable difference to the popular and catamarans is that the hulls are made out of Tecrothene, a thermo plastic.
