Chrysler Dagger sailboat info please

Greetings all,

Looking to downsize to a smaller boat and saw the Chrysler Dagger. Anyone sail these or have any info?

My Hobie Cat 16 is just a bit too much for me alone but still looking for a small boat that can handle stronger winds and waves.

Thanks all.

Your post has been up a while so I'm not sure if it matters any more but I sail one of these boats and I love it. I got a used one a year ago for very very cheap and I now realise what a steal it was.

Not many people sail them, so if you are looking to race I'd stay away but if you are just looking for a fun boat to sail alone or with one other person onboard I'd get it.

Should weigh ~180, mine was used and abused and weighs more like 280 but still sails well. I'd love to have seen it when it was light and new!

I have a copy of the original manual so if you need rigging help I can send a copy along.

Thanks for the reply. I was still considering purchasing this boat. I bought a Sunfish for solo sailing but let's face it, you can never have too many sailboats. If you already have the manual scanned, I'd very much appreciate an emailed copy.

I Hope I Am Doing This Correctly. I Read Your Info About The Chrysler Dagger Sailboat. I Just Got A Hull. Mast, Old Ripped Sail And No Rudder. I Saw You Had The Manual, If At All Possible Could You Email A Copy To Me. It Would Be A Great Help. Thankyou Very Much, Robert
