Rondar Raceboats One, Two, Three at the Enterprise National Championship and First overall at the Solo National Championship with the 'Speed' Solo.

The new Rondar Raceboats Mk3 Enterprise was used by the top three placed teams at the recent Class National Championship, held at the South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club. Mark Lunn & Steve Blackburn sailed an impressive series in a variety of conditions to take the top spot. Paul Hobson & Alice Allen in their new boat took second while Steve Graham & Alex Haliwell grabbed third.

The Mk3 Enterprise initiated by the Enterprise Class and Rondar Raceboats features a double floor and self draining cockpit. The new boat has revitalised the class and Rondar report a steady flow of orders since its introduction at last year's RYA Dinghy Show.

In the Solo class Charlie Cumbley in his 'Speed' Solo built by Rondar, with a North 3DL sail sailed a steady series in a huge competitive fleet to take overall victory on the last day.

The 'Speed' Solo built by Rondar Raceboats is all epoxy foam sandwich and features an all in one deck/floor mould. The shape is the proven 'Speed' hull with a deck and thwart layout ready to take the simplest or most sophisticated controls.

This package is exclusively available from Speed Sails.
