Dart 16 Race
Dart 16 Race is a 15 ′ 8 ″ / 4.8 m catamaran sailboat designed by Yves Loday and built by LaserPerformance starting in 1997.
Rig and Sails
Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3
- SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D : Displacement in pounds.
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Ballast / Displacement * 100
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
Additional features (from DART 16): Larger mainsail, gennaker ), double trapeze, upgraded carbon tiller extension, Harken traveler mainsheet system, and jib furling system. Gennaker area: 124 sq.ft./11.53m2 (Also called DART 16X)

hobie 16 vs dart 16
- Add to quote
Wanting to get my first cat. I've had a Sunfish (ooooooh yeah) for a few years and want to upgrade to a cat dinghy. I (think I've) narrowed it down to those two, just going by info I've found on the internet. If any of you have actually sailed either/both of those boats, feedback would be appreciated. Oh yeah, and if there's another good similarly sized cat out there that I missed, bring that up too.
Sailed a Hobie 16 for twelve years. The best of the sailing years I've had. Grew a little long in the face for that kind of excitement, now I just cruise. Hope you plan to race it, it will teach you to sail like no other boat. High speed excitement and tons of fun. My guess is that you can't go wrong with either decision.
I owned a Hobie 16 for 28 years. Most fun on a boat I've ever had! And our two kids loved it, too. They were 7 and 8 years old when we got it. It was a fun family boat, and a rip-roaring, sail-it-to-the-limit boat rolled into one. Don't know the Dart 16 at all, so can't compare.
TheBeachcats.com - Catamaran Sailing There is a list of cats and I am sure if you look around you can find more. If I should not have linked to another site (no I do not have any relations or interest in the site) delete it.
Lots of Hobie fleets all around to race with. Lots of used boats for sale all the time. Lots of used parts, lots of free advice on tuning, fixing, sailing, etc. Ditto what everyone above said. Dont know anything about Darts. Ebay a good source for used parts. Since they are still making the same design they are mostly interchangable.
