TIYC DN Fleet

Ubiquitous would be an understatement for these boats.  Originally a low-cost boat, this development class has evolved to the point where its top speeds have doubled since it was first introduced.  While most people still build their own boats, the most competitive racers usually buy expensive fiberglass spars that bend beyond belief in heavy air.  It is now possible to buy every component needed to have a competitive boat with only assembly required.  Of course there is nothing quite as satisfying as creating one of these of your own.

The Web is chock full of info on these.  Start at  http://sailingsource.com/ice/index.htm
