THE FLEET
The Daring Class comprises more than 30 boats in Cowes and an association membership of over 200. Careful management by a skilled and dedicated Controlling Board and Committee has maintained the competitiveness of every boat in the fleet.
Original hulls, built from 1961-1992, still regularly win regattas; newer hulls, built from 2009, brought new life to the heaviest-used boats.
​
While new boats may be commissioned, there are also opportunities to charter; to part-own; or to purchase. Get in touch for more details.
