 Working closely with the Streaker Class Association, we have transformed the interior of the dinghy with shortening the Aft tank , adding a pure centre main track system. 

 We have developed our all wood Streaker with the removal of the floor battens, lightened keelson and short false floor , the cockpit flooris now 12mm in thickness, this ensures the stiffness of the hull is at its optimum level without adding too much weight.  We have also incorporated into the deck mould the capacity to fit an Aft Bailer if required. In addition the deck has a non slip surface built into the mould both on the floor and side decks, the side decks being slightly less aggressive non slip than on the floor.  As Stated before we have Added a pure Centre main track systems this aids people coming into the class from a Solo or other pure centre main boats. 

The Streaker is a lightweight single-handed dinghy with good handling characteristics. It is suitable for a wide range of abilities from relative beginner to expert racer. It is light weight and easy to handle ashore with a simple rig which gives a forgiving sail for the beginner yet can produce an exhilarating racing performance for the expert. The rules allow a variety of cockpit layouts and construction materials. The Streaker Class Owners Association works hard to keep the design up-to-date and encourages friendly but competitive racing. Recent years have shown that the design still competes successfully with the best single-handed designs currently available. Sailors from juniors under the age of 21 to those over 70 both male and female compete together in a active racing circuit consisting of over 25 meetings a year throughout the country. 

 Along with the Streaker Association our aim is to aid this already well established and versatile dinghy in what could be considered a impressive comeback in the dinghy market.
