The DC‐14 Phantom is an American catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by MacLear & Harris and first built in 1964.
Production
The design was built by Duncan Sutphen Inc. in the United States, but it is now out of production.
Design
The DC‐14 Phantom is a recreational sailboat, with its hulls built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig with a rotating mast. The hulls have raked stems, vertical transoms, dual transom-hung, kick-up rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable daggerboards. The boat displaces 350 lb (159 kg) and has a central trampoline, stretched over a frame that mounts the hulls.
The boat has a draft of 2.18 ft (0.66 m) with the daggerboards extended and 6 in (15 cm) with them retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. For transport or storage the hulls can be detached from the trampoline frame.
