Lark (dinghy)

Lark (dinghy)

The Lark is a two-person, non-trapeze sailing dinghy, designed in 1966 by Michael Jackson (who was also responsible for many National 12 and Merlin Rocket designs). All Larks are made of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). In the United States, Larks are sailed at several east coast universities, including Tufts and Bowdoin. The Tufts fleet has carbon rigs.
