The Arrow is an Australian designed catamaran. There are approximately 1600 sailed around the country.
Carrying a total sail area of 10.2m2 the boat does well on all points of sailing. Like most cats she is very fast on reaches. With a Jib and Trapeze in fresh breezes, the more advanced Arrow sailors can show some transom to the rest of the 4.5m class boats.
