The National E (Lazy E) is a two person intermediate / senior sailing dinghy complete with main, jib, spinnaker and trapeze. It was designed by Jack Holt in 1962 as a fast stable boat.[1] It encapsulates experience gained from his earlier designs of the GP14 and the Enterprise. It has a strong following in Australia with national titles held annually and over 560 sail numbers issued to date.
