Darings are widely considered to be the most elegant keelboats racing on the south coast of England. The Daring was designed as a One Design by Arthur Robb based on his successful 5.5 metre yacht ‘Vision’, the Silver Medal winner in the 1956 Olympics. The class has proved popular and enduring, offering the best value for money for One Design racing of its type. It is a classic racing yacht.
