Pacer

The Pacer is a 3.8m one design sloop rigged family dinghy. The Pacer is the ideal performance family yacht... it has a lightweight hull capable of high planing speed.  Its wide beam and not excessive amount of sail allows this performance to be had by husband/wife or parent/child. It is safe and stable as well as being one of the most attractive yachts on the water.

Pacers are easily built using the stitch and glue method, assisted by a jig to create an accurate hull shape. It can also be purchased in low maintenance fibreglass. The Pacer is light enough for two people to lift and may be car-topped for transportation.

We use Pacers as our main coaching dinghy and the Club has access to 6 and recent sailing school graduates are encouraged to rack up some post course hours in the Pacer...hopefully during racing on a Saturday afternoon.
