Butler Boats launched the new open forward bulkhead for Streakers at the Dinghy Show in 2009. If you haven’t yet seen it, come to the Dinghy Show in March 2010 – and be prepared to see further refinements of the design.

Dave Butler has over thirty years experience in building boats, and Streakers are one of the main products of Butler Boats. Butler Streakers include EPOXY FRP, COMPOSITE and EPOXY-WOOD models, and all are renowned for lightness and speed. Butler boats have also been innovators of Streaker features, including:

• The false floor – which stiffens the dagger-board case and reduces the water intake after capsize
• The revolutionary curved thwart – which has the added safety feature of providing grab holes for recovery from capsize
• The sealed mast – which provides increased time before boat inversion under capsize conditions

All these features have been developed with a view to retro fit on older boats, so as not to give an unfair advantage to owners of newer boats.

Butler boats offer dinghies at competitive prices, and all boats are manufactured to the customer’s exact bespoke specifications. All boats have

• Dual controls
• In-boom main sheeting
• Non-slip deck and floor
• The latest sail technology

All these Butler Boats innovations have been ratified by the STREAKER CLASS OWNERS ASSOCIATION and comply with the class’s specification and measurement.
