Pacer
The club and school workhorse
The brand
The Pacer remains particularly relevant to Australian clubs and schools: a 3.8 m two-person dinghy with main, jib and spinnaker that is stable enough for training but still performance-oriented enough to race. The class identifies itself as suitable for family sailing, training, green fleet and racing.
Australian class infrastructure with fibreglass and timber examples in circulation.
Our take
Two-person, stable, spinnaker-equipped and supported by Australian class infrastructure. One of the best value club purchases available.
