Welcome to Raider Sailboats

               Performance sailing... for the rest of us!

 

Imagine a performance small boat with comfort.

Imagine speed without the usual swimming sessions.

Imagine a single hander which is also a double hander.

Imagine a performance boat that is difficult to capsize.

Imagine a boat that stays upright at the dock or at anchor.

Imagine one boat for the beginner through the hard-core racer.

Imagine this at a price well below other performance small boats.

 

INTRODUCING  THE  RAIDER II TURBO!

The new Raider II 16 ft. sailboat line was designed by John Drawe and developed from his already successful design of the original Raider 16' performance sailboat with its reputation for performance and stability.   The newly redesigned Raider II 16 ft. performance dinghy features a stayed aluminum mast and new fiberglass hull.  The upgraded Raider II Sport adds a Mylar® jib on a Harken® furler for better upwind and light air performance and the top of the line Raider II Turbo increases sail area even further with the addition of an asymmetrical spinnaker and retractable bow sprit making it the ultimate 16 ft. racing sailboat for the accomplished sailor.  Yet, with such a versatile sail plan, the boat can easily accommodate all skill levels.  Whether providing stability for the beginner sailing with main  only; or as a single or double-handed family, club or one-design sloop-rigged racing dinghy that's fun and easy to sail, to the ultimate challenge of single-handed, high performance, spinnaker-equipped racing.  The Raider II series of 16' sailboats truly is... performance sailing for  the rest of us!
