I just picked up a Dart 15 in Yuma Az of all places. It's likely to be my new single hander, after a little work. If there is anyone out tn
Here with knowledge of the Dart 15, I would like to get some questions answered.

First off, there is a strap that runs diagonally across the tramp, supposedly to hold the hulls together as they are not bolted in place. Is the strap necessary or would a bias cut tramp do the same thing?

If anyone out there has sailed one, is it worth putting it on the water or is it a dawg?

Anyone sailed a d15 with a square top and is the mod worth the cash?

Also, how can I find out what year it is? There is a serial# in the stb hull!

Hi,
Although it was originally called the Dart 15 it is now called the Sprint 15 (manufacturing politics!)

Shhhh Team VMG........I was trying to keep my age a secret......
c'mon Carl, you're older than that - you know it was called the SPARK before it was the Dart 15!

Yea, this one is actually the Spark 15. Just figured I would eliminate speculation and confusion.
Arizona doesn't require registration on this boat, so no worries.? All you get here is a bill of sale.
The guy that parted the boat out should have told them that he built the boat himself out of scrap leftover parts.
I'm aware of the existence of the DX square top MOD, but I'm wondering about how the boat and the 2 piece mast with no spreaders handles it. If it handles it well, I may throw a monster high aspect sq top in it. My understanding is that the Darts are built for much higher winds than we generally have here in AZ. I want this old girl powered up! But don't want to break things .
Also would like to know how to read the Ser #. Or if it can tell me anything about the boats year of manufacture. And no, I won't list that # here!
