Solo- Single handed, hiking with fully battened mainsail
The recent revival of the Solo class has made it one of the most popular boats in the UK. Ideal for those who need a bit more space and comfort than a Laser.
The double chined boat is a well behaved responsive dinghy which fits on all stretches of water.
You won't go far wrong as a first step into single handed sailing for a beginner. Although a very competitive boat at club, national and international level.
Traditionally made from wood but now available in a modern fibreglass hull and laminate sails.
