The Mosquito is a ‘restricted design’ classic 4.9m racing catamaran, which consistently wins regattas throughout Australia. The flexible design of the class means that it can be sailed either two up or single-handed. Its lightweight and efficient hull design, coupled with a fully adjustable sail shape, provide sparkling performance over a broad range of wind conditions.

The Mosquito can be sailed in two configurations. Cat rigged, with one person (Mark I) or, alternatively sloop rigged with two people (Mark II).
