Byte

"A proven user friendly boat with all the sophistication of the modern one design sailing dinghy."

The Byte is the 12-foot long dinghy designed for the single sailor in the 100 to 165 lb. range. Ian Bruce put his 18 years of experience with the Laser into the development of the Byte. Just to name a couple of improvements: the Byte has a zippered main that can be lowered at the dock without taking the mast out of the boat and a true traveler amidships that allows the boat to neatly depower in higher wind conditions. This boat has a dedicated class following and is the ideal next step for students that have grown out of the Opti but are not heavy enough for a Laser, and some individuals never get heavy enough for a Laser. This is a proven (in sail training programs!), user friendly boat with all the sophistication of the modern one design sailing dinghy.
