History

Rodney March, also known for the Tornado, designed the Dart 15 in 1979 as a compact single hander built by Panthercraft. It has changed hands and names more than once since, running as the Sprint 15 under Collins Fibreglass in South Africa before reverting to the Dart 15 name in 2023 under Windsport in the UK.

Sailing Characteristics

No daggerboards and no boom keep the boat simple and hard to hurt yourself on, while the uni rig option lets a single sailor get afloat without wrestling a jib. Sport mode adds a trapeze for those who want more of a workout, and the boat is light enough to car top.

Racing Context

The UK Dart 15 Association runs an active calendar of opens and a national championship, and the class has a loyal following among sailors who want to rig alone and be off the beach in minutes. It sits alongside the Dart 16 and Dart 18 as part of the wider Dart family.
