For anyone who's interested in this boat, here's 2 tips.
I understand dart 18 parts are rare in the US, so make
sure the beam/hull attachments are sound. the beams
slide into dedicated holes in the hulls and work with a
spring/clip system to secure/lose them.
Second is the tramp arrangement, its a bit of an "od"
system, where you slide the tramp into the front and
back beams before attaching the second hull.
Just make sur you can tighten the tramp to an acceptable
stiffness, if not.. you need a new tramp
Btw..They are great cats !!
I consider their rudder-setup the best ever made.
Regards, André
