The Spiral 3.8 dinghy was designed and developed by leading New Zealand yacht designer, Alan Warwick, for competitive one-design racing and pleasure.

The hull shape provides first-class performance combined with safe, one-person, handling characteristics and is built with high-strength, lightweight, low-maintenance fiberglass.

The large cockpit has been carefully designed for comfort and safety.

The 55kg minimum weight makes it easy to ‘car top’.

Rigging takes only minutes with the unstayed two-piece aluminium mast with a loose-footed sail sleeved over it.

The lightweight and high buoyancy of the hull facilitates quick righting with no need to bail.

The Spiral is both exhilarating and fun. It is sensitive and responsive in lighter breezes as well as stable and safe in stronger winds.

The Spiral Class enjoys an active Class Association with keen racing participation by both teenagers and adults.

Both novices and experienced sailors will be rewarded  with exciting sailing.
