The Dinghy Show 3-4 March 2012
Come and see the AltO on Stand A22 and meet the enthusiasts!.
The AltO (update)
Following the launch of the prototype AltO at the Dinghy Show in 2008 and over three years extensive testing with feedback from new owners, the designer and AltO Class Association are very satisfied that the AltO more than achieves the strict design criteria for the class.
The boat has been shown to perform well across a wide range of conditions. Whether it was the light winds at this year's Medway Regatta and Bass Week, the perfect conditions at Pyefleet Week or strong winds at Coniston and Burnham, the AltO has proved itself a thoroughbred of dinghies and a delight to sail.
Prices
The 2012 prices are:
- AltOboats Home Finishing Package - £7,995 inc VAT
- AltOboats Complete Boat Package - £9,240 inc VAT
Both packages are inclusive of the AltO launching trolley and cover.
An exciting new class for club sailors
Easy to sail, yet almost as fast as a fiveO, and nearly half the price! That should sum up the AltO. This is a dinghy to revitalise fast club racing by being suitable for mixed teams, even husbands and wives, and being compatible with club courses. This film together with the Y&Y test report say it all.

Of course introducing a new class in the present economic climate might be slow, but for those to whom it appeals then the price could not be more competitive, especially for a large fast dinghy with vinylester hull, carbon mast and swinging pole. In most clubs there is now only handicap racing and more than one in class constitutes a fleet.
The AltO
This two-person, single trapeze design offers fast, exciting, and fun sailing, in a comfortable, responsive and controllable racing dinghy. It is an ideal fast club racing class suitable for a wide range of both crew weights and ages, male or female.
The AltO incorporates the best from past and present designs with innovation for the future.
Arrange a Test Sail
