The ASC or Admiralty Sailing Craft is a purpose built, rugged, 16 foot GRP sailing dinghy, historically with gaff rig, with a bermuda rig optional, designed for use by UK naval and sea cadet establishments.
It is a substantial craft, usually left on a mooring in quiet waters rather than being slipway launched. It is intended for a total crew of anything up to half a dozen.
It has a heavy metal centreplate, and is equipped for pulling in addition to sailing. There is also a sculling notch on the transom.
