Splash
2 Seasons
Two persons can easily carry the Splash to the water’s edge and one can do the rigging. A grown-up can board via the foredeck, so a child will certainly be able to do so. Once on board you will find that the Splash is very stable. While sailing, the Splash is very sensitive, very light on the helm, accelerating quickly and sailing close to the wind. The boom is high enough to pass underneath without danger. In gusts the boat is very forgiving and does not capsize easily. If it should do so, it rolls over very slowly, so that it can easily be righted before it is up side down. When righted, very little water remains in the cockpit. The bailer will remove this at once when the boat accelerates. The sail controls are led aft to the sailor and the view is unobstructed all around. Continuous halyard means the sail can be lowered and raised with the mast up.
The Splash won’t disappoint you on any point: the ideal dinghy for the sailor who has grown out of the Optimist. And maybe you can lend it to your parents when there is a lot of wind. A modern, lively yet well-mannered single-hander, offering the excitement of fast-planing performance to a wide range of crew ages and weights.
Splashes can be found all over the world. There are already about 2000 boats been sold in the following countries: Germany; Switzerland; Belgium; Italy; Spain; Greece; Poland; Australia; New Zealand; U.S.A.; The Netherlands; Lithuania; Canada; Mexico; France; Singapore; Japan and United Kingdom.
