Streaker options

Streaker Technical Officer (and SCOA Chairman) Alan Gillard outlines the options available to those wishing to build or buy a Streaker, including the new self-build option.

Official Streaker plans/patterns for self-build

The Official Streaker Plans are now available from the SCOA at a cost of £130. They will be supplied on a CD which will include:


The AutoCAD drawings of the Streaker plans will need to be printed onto A0 size paper. You will need to visit a reprographic shop that can read the drawings and print at A0 size. The bulkheads are shown in the plans full size, but the panels (deck, side tank and hull) are all half full size. These will need to be transposed using the offsets as given on the drawings for each panel onto the builder’s plywood sheets.

Only one Streaker may be built from an official CD. The cost of the CD includes the building fee, and each CD is supplied complete with one sail number.



Streaker’s built from a kit

Streaker Class dinghies can still be built from officially supplied kits. These are available from the approved supplier of Streaker kits, Ron Beasley.

Sail number / building fee

All Streaker Class dinghies, whether built from official CD plans, built from a kit or supplied by a professional builder, shall be supplied with a Sail Number / Building Fee Receipt.

When you buy a professionally built boat or a kit, it comes equipped with a sail number, and part of the price you pay the supplier constitutes the building fee, passed on by the supplier to SCOA.

When you build a Streaker from plans, the building fee is part of the cost of the CD, paid by you direct to SCOA.


Sail numbers are issued by Alan Gillard on behalf of the Streaker Class Owners Association.

Getting your Streaker Measured and Measurement Certificates

Before a Streaker is allowed to take part in Streaker Class Owners Association events, the boat must be measured and conform to the Rules of Measurement and Construction.

If purchasing a boat from one of the approved builders; Rooster or Butler Boats. Both builders will arrange to have the boat measured before it is supplied. The builder will send the completed ‘Measurement Form’ or builder ‘Certificate of Conformity’ to the SCOA. A Measurement Certificate will be then issued in the name of the owner if all details are correct. The fee for the Measurement Certificate is also covered by the price you pay the relevant supplier of the Streaker.

If the boat is built from either kit or built from plans the owner shall contact the SCOA to enable the boat to be measured. A Streaker shall be measured by official Measurers appointed by the SCOA. The SCOA will accept the signature of the following measurers on the Streaker Measurement form; a. SCOA Official Measurer, b. RYA Recognized Measurers, c. Official Club Measurers, d. SCOA Committee Members. (The measurer involved may charge for their service in measuring your Streaker).

The completed Measurement Form shall be returned to the SCOA along with a cheque for £7.50, payment made to SCOA.

A Measurement Certificate will be then issued in the name of the owner if all details are correct.

Validation of Measurement Certificate.

A Measurement Certificate is only valid if accompanied by a current Membership Card of the Streaker Class Owners Association.

Change of Ownership / Second hand boats.

Change of ownership invalidates the Measurement Certificate. A new Measurement Certificate shall be obtained by the new owner, by sending the old Measurement Certificate, confirming details of the new owner, along with £7.50 re-registration fee to SCOA. If you are selling your Streaker please pass on the Measurement Certificate for the boat to the new owner.
