Family summer cruising on board Dazcat 1495 Hissy Fit, 2022.

Just weeks after winning the two-handed Round Britain & Ireland Race when the UK was gripped by a lasting heatwave, Hissy Fit set off on another two handed adventure. This time it was just Simon and his wife Tracey on board. Destination: the Isles of Scilly, lots of relaxation, exploration and fun. The Dazcat versatility is on show at its best as Hissy Fit becomes the ideal cruising boat and before long they are welcoming Abi, their daughter, with her boyfriend and Bramble the family Terrier on board… It’s Hissy Fit and her skipper in a different mode and you can get a few new insights into the Dazcat cruiser-racer philosophy. Simon shares some good tips about cruising in the islands, places to visit and a few things to be wary of. He also takes a look below the water on Hissy Fit at how the Coppercoat bottom is holding up as season eight nears its end, and assesses the new anchor bridle set-up. A regular question we get is “Why don’t Dazcats have cockpit furniture?”. Well, first of all some do and yours can if that’s what you want but for the first time Simon explains his preference for cockpit seating, or the lack of, on Hissy Fit. Another question is “Can Dazcats take the ground?”. Well, here you can see for yourself.
