The 125 has a light 50kg chine hull with a spinnaker and a trapeze. Sailed by 2 this dinghy sails best at 10 - 15 knots of breeze. A popular boat for teenagers, parent and child combinations, couples or anyone looking for a great boat that is good value with a friendly group of people. A competitive class, with state titles held every year in the latter half of the sailing season and nationals each year after Christmas at a variety of locations around Australia. There are also training weekends and travellers races held throughout the season in NSW. NS14 The NS14 is an exciting high performance class ideal for two adults or an adult and child. It has a simple rig, is light enough to be lifted from a trailer (fully rigged) into the water by 3 persons of average strength, requires only reasonable fitness to sail, and is affordable by the private sailor. The NS14 is a popular class attracting many elite skippers who have contributed their ideas to make the NS14 the most highly developed boat in Australia. 29erDeveloped as a high performance training boat, the 29er is a popular intermediate step between youth classes and the senior skiffs. Renowned for being loads of fun, the 29er is a strict one-design class, offering excellent racing and great rides. Spiral The Spiral is a one-design class, offering excellent racing at an affordable price. Popular with teenagers and lighter adults, the ideal sailor weight is between 55-75kg, though they are successfully raced at weights up to 90kg. Spirals are sensitive and responsive in light winds, and a blast when it blows. The MirrorThe Mirror was first promoted as a boat that would provide affordable sailing enjoyment for the whole family. In many countries the role has shifted to that of a youth training boat. They are best known for their very distinct red sails. The Tasar The Tasar was designed to be sailed by a man and a woman and it delivers exciting performance without using either spinnaker or trapeze. The hull has a fine angle at the bow to reduce wave impact drag with unusually clean and sharp chines aft to ensure very free planing and outstanding stability. The foam cored hull is stiff and light and the advanced hull shape, together with an innovative rig which combines a rotating mast with a fully battened main sail, allows the Tasar to plane upwind with the crew normally hiked. The wide beam and a cockpit designed for comfortable hiking make the Tasar easy, fun and very exciting to sail in winds up to 25 knots.
