The '''Splash Dinghy''' is 3.5m5 m in length and all boats are identical, thus, as is typical in [[One-Design]] classes, the sailor's ability rather than equipment is emphasised fleet racing. The boats employ an un-stayed mono rig with a sail area of 6.3 m2, which makes the class easy to handle by sailors ranging from 45 to 80 kg. This, combined with the low hull weight of 55 kg, allow the class to serve as a stepping stone between the [[Optimist (dinghy)|Optimist Dinghy]] and boats such as the [[Laser Radial]], suiting Sailorssailors in the age range from 13 to 21 years.
 
Competitions are held at club, national and international level. In New Zealand, UK, Netherlands, Sweden, and many other countries in Europe, the National Splash Associations arrange many events during the season, ranging from the traveller'stravellers’ ranking series, training camps, coaching, national champs, and world selection trials.
 
New boats cost around EURO 4500, but second hand boats are considerably cheaper and some clubs have schemes whereby sailors can charter boats until they decide to continue with the class.
The splashSplash is capable of speeds of over 10 knots on a broad reach, and has performance very similar to Laser 4.7 - its [[Portsmouth Yardstick]] is 1184,<ref name="RYA2010">{{cite web |url=http://www.rya.org.uk/SiteCollectionDocuments/technical/Web%20Documents/py-general/2010%20Part%207%20PN%20List.pdf |title=RYA Portsmouth Yardstick List 2010 |publisher=Royal Yachting Association |accessdateaccess-date=21 August 2012}}</ref> slightly higher than the Laser 4.7. It is similar in appearance to a Laser hull but is shorter and wider and has a vertical bow.
 
==Splash BLUE==
The Splash is available called the "SPLASH BLUE" it is the standard Splash, this boat is designed for sailors weighing over 45-80;45–80 kg The BLUE has a Portsmouth Yardstick of 1184,1220.<ref name="NobleRYA">{{cite web |url=https://www.noblemarinerya.coorg.uk/dinghydatabase.php3racing/technical/handicap-systems/portsmouth-yardstick |titlepublisher=Dinghy and Catamaran DatabaseRYA |publisheraccess-date=Noble11 Marine Insurance BrokersAugust 2021|accessdatetitle=22Portsmouth-yardstick August 2012}}</ref>.
 
Until recently most Splash sailors at 18 had to move to the RED. Today you can sail Splash BLUE in official regattas till the age of 21 years. Most sailors followed the Olympic route of Laser Radial and skipped the Splash RED (former Flash, as it can be a little over powering for the smaller sailor. Splash is ideal for sailors from the age of 13 till the age of 21 years. Now sailors at 21from all ages can sail a Splash in the Splash RED class.
 
The Splash BLUE is the international Class with their own Worldchampionships.
 
==Splash RED==
Another version of the Splash is available called the "SPLASH RED" it has more sail area and awith the same Splash boom and the same size hull,. The sail is 7.2 square meters. thisThis boat is designed for sailors weighing over 70&nbsp;kg The RED has a Portsmouth Yardstick of 1155,<ref name="Noble">{{cite web |url=https://www.noblemarine.co.uk/dinghydatabase.php3 |title=Dinghy and Catamaran Database |publisher=Noble Marine Insurance Brokers |accessdateaccess-date=22 August 2012}}</ref> making it 4.6% faster than the Splash.
 
Until recently most Splash sailors at 18 had to move to the RED. Most sailors followed the Olympic route of Laser Radial and skipped the Flash, as it can be a little over powering for the smaller sailor. Now sailors at 18 can sail a Splash in the Splash +Blue Class until the age of 20.

It is the perfect switch from optimist or Topper to start enyoing a fast and cool single handed dinghy.
