The Dart 18 continues its renaissance attracting new and old sailors back to the fleet for some high quality one design catamaran racing. The 37th national championships proved no exception with seventy-three boats including some from Europe attending the fantastic Netley sailing club who provided a superb venue for excellent close racing and the world famous Dart apres-sail.

Set within quiet corner of Victoria Country Park near Southampton, a portion set aside for boats and parking, many competitors chose to camp in the club grounds. Netley Sailing club provided a safe family space for competitors and non sailing guests to enjoy the four day event. They even managed to summon up the evening monsoon, giving an impressive even more authentic feel for the Bollywood themed night and the tropical evening. The wind and rain only added to the enjoyment of those who partied late in to the night.

Shoreside support provided by the Windsport International team repaired most of the damaged boats as they came ashore, ensuring that many who would have, didn't miss out on the excellent racing in the Hill Head area of the Solent.

The Dart 18 remains a popular two person racing catamaran staying strictly to its one design heritage it provides excellent affordable competitive sailing at every end of the fleet. At the sharp end a closely fought battle went down to the final race in the challenging series of seven races, the final victor David Lloyd of Stokes Bay beating the recently crowned world champion Dan Norman by one point to take the much coveted national champion crown. Lloyd added to his recent Belgian and Dutch Championship victories.
