STRIDER is the most popular of our trailable catamarans as it offers a good compromise between speed, accommodation and low cost.
Standard rig above, Turbo rig below (for experienced sailors)
A "F1 Rig" is also available with the same total area as the standard rig, but a smaller jib and larger mainsail.
Striders are very good sea boats and have competed successfully in tough offshore races. A racing version, the Turbo, with wider beam, increased rig size, rotating mast etc. is available for those who's aim is to race at the highest level or who sail in a very light wind area (see above)
The 4 berth interior layout is as on the Shadow
Striders are the classic trailable boat, shown here on a telescopic trailer behind a small (1600cc) family saloon car.
Yachting Monthly "Once on the water she provides exciting sailing as well as giving a safe ride for inshore cruising weekends or holidays for a young family"
Yachting World "Strider is a fast, light, exhilarating day sailer, great fun to sail"
Dick Newick in Wooden Boat Magazine "Builders of this racer/cruiser should produce a craft that will give them a great deal of pleasure and very little grief"
