What is an Enterprise?
The Enterprise is a 4 metre long sailing dinghy with distinctive, and easily recognisable, light blue sails. It is one of the largest classes in the world, and the popularity of this Jack Holt design is due to its excellent qualities both as a cruising and racing boat. There are now more than 23200 registered boats.

Attributes
• Excellent qualities both as a cruising and two-person racing boat. You are bound to find a club near you where Enterprises are sailed. Good and fair performance for one design racing. Well maintained older boats are not disadvantaged, and are successful in both National Championships and on the Open Meeting circuit. The simple layout, and easily managed controls, makes the boat attractive to young sailors and for older sailors who want to race competitively with young club members. Choice of hull materials, ranging from fibreglass, composite (fibreglass with a wooden deck) or all wood construction.
