Brighton Sprint Sport
Description
The Brighton Sprint Sport (also commonly listed as Sprinta Sport or Sprinta-Sport) is a classic performance-oriented sailboat, specifically a 23-foot (approximately 7-meter) fractional sloop designed for racing and fast day sailing. It was built by Brighton Yachts (a lesser-known or possibly short-lived builder, with some references linking it to designs or production overlaps with European builders like Dehler Yachts in the late 1970s–1990s era). This boat is known for its lightweight fiberglass construction, generous sail plan, and excellent light-air performance, making it a fun, responsive racer popular in club-level sailing and one-design fleets in its heyday. It's often described as a "sexy little boat" with good build quality and plenty of control lines for trimming.
