GENERAL: Introducing the hot one...Chrysler Dagger. Take it fast, or take
it easy with the all-new, hi-performance, quick-planing hull, 14'6" Dagger
from Chrysler.
Low, lightweight, sleek and sassy, she is ready to challenge the best of
the hot boats on any course--with a swingin' single-hander, or a crew of two.
For leisurely fun afloat boating, she sails easily on her lines with 2-3
people. Should she capsize, one person can pop her right back up and sail
away while her roomy, molded-in double cockpit bails itself dry.
The hull is foam-filled for positive flotation. Dagger is so easy to rig,
handle, trailer or carry on car top. You can become an instant winner, even
if you're just a beginner! Her cat-rigged Dacron sail is loose-footed for
fine-tuning control, both on and off the wind. The halyard is inside the stayed
mast for minimal wind resistance. All running gear, including up-down rudder,
pivoting tiller extension, foil-shaped daggerboard and main-sheet is located
so a single-hander can control her without moving inboard from the hiking
position. Chrysler Dagger is a new class of one ... making performance sail
racing a whole new ballgame!
