This exciting single handed Dinghy which is suited to all junior sailors 30 - 75kgs is set to put the excitement of a modern design back into junior sailing. As an ISAF Class these little pocket rockets are setting the benchmark for junior sailing ,with well established fleets in WA, NSW and QLD its Victoria where the next fleet is taking shape. Young Australian sailors are making their mark on the World stage as well,as seen in Miami late last year, with the next World Open Cup set for Italy's Lake Garda with an expected fleet of 250.
Some of the local junior sailors will venture to the 2013 Australian Opencup at Easter in WA preceeding.
