CartSnark Sunchaser I Sailboat
Note: As of Fen 2024, no Snarks are avalable and there is no timetable for when they will be. You can call or email to get on the llist to be notified when they become available. As of Feb 2024 I have one used Sunchaser 1 available, located in Massachusetts whcih could be shipped anywhere.
Carries 4 people (900 lbs) in comfort on bench seats and can take a motor. Yet is weighs only 125 pounds. It's a classic design with a long history and many satisfied owners. The Sunchaser I (this model) carries 72 square feet of sail area in a single sail. The Sunchaser II has the same hull but carries 100 square feet of sail in 2 sails. Click on Sunchaser II link to see videos of what it's like to be aboard! This video (click colored word) was done by a customer and it's great. It's a 2015 video of a very old Sunchaser, so it demonstrates both performance and longevity of the boat. Here is another video link on the Sunchaser I.

 Snark Sunchaser I |
The Sunchaser I has a 72-square-foot lateen sail. The advantage of the lateen sail is it is very easy to use. Very easy to rig and very easy to raise and lower the sail. And with just one sail to handle, it's very easy to sail. Those who want more speed and the fun of handling 2 sails, and who are willing to accept the extra steps involved in setting up a sloop rig, should consider the Sunchaser II instead. As you can see in this photo, there is comfortable seating space for 4 adults. Videos: |

View from above with sail removed. The two black triangles on the bow (top of photo) are hatches that open and close. You can store gear and food in there. The hull is a plastic foam core covered with an ABS plastic shell.
You can transport a Sunchaser on the roof of a vehicle, or on a trailer. It is only 125 pounds. All Snark Sailboats are intended for dry sailing, meaning you should store them out of the water when not sailing. Oarlocks included (but not oars) The footwell area is 49" x 27". Note: Snark has eliminated the dagger board plug in current design, though it is still listed in intstructions. |
