- Arthur Robb based the design of the Daring on this successful 5.5 metre "Vision", silver medal winner at the 1956 Olympics. The first Daring was launched in 1960 and one year later a total of 11 boats were racing in the Solent.
The local popularity of the class has grown steadily and there are now more than 30 boats, racing mainly in Cowes.
- Sailing quietly in Brittany... - 16.04.2008 by Gurvan Jaouen
- She is sailing in South Brittany, in the area of Lorient, apparently since the end of the 70's.
In a bad condition 3 years ago, she now has a new deck, new hull colour and is sailing again, sometimes in company of Korrigan.
Her name is now Virago... since the 70's...
