The Daring Fleet

The Daring is a robust yacht and gear failures or breakages are rare. In the event of a problem, however, Lallows of Cowes hold spares and a damaged Daring on Saturday will be seen racing in the fleet the next day having been repaired overnight if necessary.  The Daring’s special One design rules allow the Class to continuously improve the sail and rigging plan by adopting the latest designs and high quality materials.

Careful management by a skilled and dedicated Controlling Board and Committee has maintained the competitiveness of every boat in the fleet with original boats built in 1961 still regularly winning races. The popularity of the class has grown steadily and there are now more than 30 boats in Cowes and a membership list of over 200.
