Commonly known as the "Skate" this sailing dinghy has an awesome reputation for wild rides and exhilarating speed.

The Skate is sailed in three states of Australia. NSW, WA & SA. Although boats still exist in Victoria they are not sailed regularly and tend to be of an older design.

This class is one of the original performance development classes.
