Arrow Catamaran 11 (Cadet)
Description
Designed by Neil Fowler in Darwin in 1963, as a compact trainer for teenagers and beginners. It's essentially a scaled-down version of the Arrow, sharing the same modernization timeline (aluminum beams and trampoline in the late 1970s). It's the smallest catamaran class sailed competitively in Australia, focusing on accessibility and fun in light to moderate winds. Like the Arrow, it's built for single-handed trapeze sailing but is more forgiving for novices.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
