The Daring is a One-Design keelboat which is based in Cowes on the Isle of Wight and races throughout the season around the Solent.
The first Darings were designed by Arthur Robb,[2] based on his 5.5 Metre yacht Vision which was built for and won silver in the 1956 Olympics.
In 2008 a new hull mould was commissioned to match the original lines but with a redesigned ergonomic deck and cockpit.
One new yacht was built and several more obtained new hulls while keeping the original name, number, rigging and keel.
To date all Darings are based in Cowes apart from three (8, Day Dreamer; 18, Deva; 20, Afroessa) sold to owners in Beirut, Cumbria and Majorca respectively.
