About Mad Dash
When you step aboard Mad Dash, you will feel the immediate pulse of adventure.

2008 Elan 410 "Mad Dash" – Offshore-Capable, Race-Ready
Mad Dash is a high-performance Elan 410 built for serious racing, both inshore and offshore. Designed by Rob Humphreys, she combines speed, agility, and offshore reliability in a sleek, IRC-optimized package.
With a proven race record, precision handling, and a lightweight, vacuum-infused hull, Mad Dash is ready to lead the pack—whether you're chasing podiums around the buoys or across the horizon.

Our Philosophy
No ego, no nonsense
just great sailing , great company, and unforgettable memories both on and off board.
Our crew onboard Mad Dash are friendly, welcoming, and always up for a laugh.
Come as you are, and leave with stories, skills, and new mates. Sailing Hounds is about making sailing fun, accessible, and social for everyone.
Whether you're relaxing with a gin and tonic at anchor or blasting toward the finish line of a four-day offshore race in the middle of the night, we’ve got something for you.
