The Dart 18 is a landmark in the evolution of the racing catamaran, striking a balance between raw speed and operational simplicity. Launched in 1976 and designed by the legendary Rodney March—the naval architect behind the Olympic-class Tornado—the Dart 18 was envisioned as a "strictly one-design" vessel that eliminated the complexity of daggerboards and booms. This philosophy made it a favorite for both club racers and high-level international competitors, eventually leading to its recognition as an International Class by World Sailing. Built with high-quality Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), its hulls are designed with sufficient buoyancy to allow for both solo and double-handed sailing, though it is most commonly raced with a crew of two.
