Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Dart18 Worlds 2022 not in Vilamoura

Dear Dart 18 sailors, In 2019 during the Dart 18 Worlds in Thailand, Portugal proposed to organise the Dart18 Worlds Championships in Vilamoura Portugal. The Dart 18 fleet welcomed this proposal. We planned to hold the event in 2021. Unfortunately due to Covid the Vilamoura Worlds were postponed to September 2022. For the last couple of months the IDA board has been in contact with the organisers in Vilamoura to assist with the organisation. The Vilamoura organisation guaranteed that, despite the lack of information we shouldn’t be worried. We would get a great event. Unfortunately CIMAV informed us last week…

Gold Cup Dart 18 – looking back at a great event!

It is possible! Despite all the difficult circumstances we sailed a wunderful regatta in La Rochelle. Thanks to the unbreakable optimisme of our frensh collegues from AFIDART the Gold Cup was an event as close to what we are used to as possible. Obviously we regret that many of our sailors could not travell, espacially our friends from the UK. We all look forward to having the whole fleet back on the water next year from the 10th-16th Septembre 2022 in Vilamoura, Portugal! Read here about the Gold Cup in La Rochelle

Dart 18 Catamaran Sales & Information

Designed for the club racer, championship sailor,  regatta enthusiast, Dart 18 is the ALL sailors’ catamaran, quick to rig, fast to sail, challenging to race and simple to maintain. Designed to be sailed single-handed or by a crew of two, with active class associations in many countries, the Dart 18 offers you catamaran sailing for pleasure and club racing. But also regional, National and World Championship events for those with a competitive edge

Similar Catamarans

The closest catamaran with regard to performance and ease of sailing is the Hobie 16 (PY 811). The Hobie 16 has a fairly solid National fleet with 23 Hobie 16’s attending the 2022 Nationals in Poole. The strongest fleets are on the South coast in particular Poole YC and Brighton SC.

Dart 18 Portsmouth Yardstick

The Portsmouth Yardstick is used to calculate the performance of mixed classes of boats in a handicap race. The lower the PY the faster the boat. For illustration – a Dart 18 has a PY of 832 , a Laser 1 ILCA7 has a PY of 1100 and a Topper has a PY of 1365 . More information and later PY numbers can be found here – RYA PY

• Dart 18 PY number is currently 832

Images of the Dart 18 supplied by the Class Association. A good mix of photographs showing the versatility of this catamaran. Sailing upwind, two up with the crew on the trapeze. Competition – the Dart 18 class has an active UK and International race calender. The second image shows a fleet of Darts at the World Championships. In lighter winds, the Dart 18 can be sailed SOLO with just the mainsail.

If you can't find one here... try ebay.

It might not be the first place that springs to mind when buying or selling a dinghy - but it's definitely worth looking. We've found some great boats on eBay. My last Topper Topaz Race X came from eBay and it was £400 cheaper than similar elsewhere. Click the banner below to browse the latest listings. People sometimes don't know precisely what it is they're selling ... try a few searches using different phrases. Start with the obvious - CLASS - eg. Laser or Topper or SuperNova etc.

Cover for Dart 18

Dart 18 presentation

The dart 18, the 18-footer, easy, simple and fast.

The Dart 18 was designed in 1975 by a trio of architects: Kim Stephens, Ian Fraser and Rodney March. The Dart 18 is a close relative of the Tornado, Rodney March's Olympic catamaran. It is the older brother of the Dart 15.

Also a regatta catamaran

The Dart, since its creation, has been a strict monotype. The one-design combined with a very high quality of manufacture have allowed a very long life of this class and a large number of Dart 18s are still sailing on our waterways. They are often very good bargains on second hand boats.

Very simple to assemble and to sail, the Dart is a low canvas 18 footer and therefore accessible for couples. Simple to assemble and use, in the background a leisure and holiday boat par excellence.

Second-hand market of the Dart 18

The Dart 18 can be very accessible for second hand with the oldest boats at less than 2000 € for competitive boats in regattas, it still requires a budget of at least 5000 €.
