National 12 Design: Sparklet

About the Sparklet

Designed by Leslie Landamore to reduce wetted area and improve light wind performance. Intended for inland sailing, Sparklet introduced the 65:25 sail plan, which put more sail higher up the mast where it is more likely to clear dirty air from trees and buildings. Cost just £190 at the 1962 Boat Show!

N2153, sailed by Robin Steavenson, won the Burton Cup in 1966 - 18 years after his first win! In subsequent years the Sparklet 2 was developed

Designer: Leslie Landamore

Builders: No Current, formerly Landmores. More info at https://landamores.co.uk/about-us/
