The Splash is a modern, but certainly not an extreme design. The stem is almost vertical, making the waterline as long as possible. The boat is not excessively wide and has a deep cockpit, in which a child will find plenty of room to move. Along the cockpit sole there are two hiking straps, which are adjustable in height. The hull is slightly V-shaped with a low, vertical transom.
The deck is longer and wider than the hull, providing a grab rail all around the boat, which makes carrying considerably easier.
The foredeck and aftdeck are large and the side decks provide a good sitting position.
The centreboard trunk is positioned in front of the forward bulkhead of the cockpit and the board can be adjusted by means of a piece of shock cord. The long, narrow centreboard completely fills the trunk with its streamlined section.
The rudder is slightly balanced, making the boat very light on the helm.
The unstayed tapered mast is stepped in a mast cavity in the foredeck, in which it can rotate freely.
The sail can easily be trimmed while sailing and water is removed from the cockpit by means of a self-bailer as soon as the speed increases.
A mooring line can be attached to a stem fitting.
Because of its weight (52 kgs) the Splash is easy to move around and it can be car topped.
The Splash is supplied in all colours and multi-coloured hulls are no problem.
