About the Lightning
The Lightning is a small and light weight single hander, which is competitive and fun to sail. It has a good weight range and can be competitively sailed by helms from 60 to 90 Kgs.

The controls are well laid out along the gunwales with a centre main and a proper halyard for the sail, meaning it can be lowered whilst afloat. It has a centreboard rather than a dagger, meaning it is easier to launch and recover and is not in the way in a small boat.

The Class Association
The Class is very active with a new builder in John Claridge, who continues to develop and improve the boat. We have a good range of traveller and open events throughout the year which are well attended.

Lightning sailors are a friendly bunch, always willing to help newcomers to the Class, or those just interested in sailing. Why not pop along to an open event to meet us and chat.
