History

Dutch designer Jac de Ridder drew the Splash in 1990 as the natural next step from the Optimist, and the boat was later built in the UK by Topper International. Blue is the smaller of the three sail options on the same hull.

Sailing Characteristics

The un-stayed rig and flat, planing hull make the Splash lively for its size, and the Blue sail keeps power manageable for lighter sailors still building strength and boat feel.

Racing Context

Raced internationally through the Splash Class Association, including an annual world championship, with Blue used by younger and lighter sailors moving up from junior classes.
