The SigneT was sponsored by the Sunday Times and designed by Ian Proctor in 1961. It is a class racer with its own Association of enthusiastic members. There are fleets in Australia and the United States of American as well as in the United Kingdom. The SigneT Association run a full race programme and there are active clubs through out the country sailing on lakes and the sea. Several boats have crossed the English Channel. Being a light boat the SigneT is easy to launch and presents no problems towing behind a car.

Apart from being a fast racing vessel the Signet also makes a splendid cruising boat or day sailer. Its vast inbuilt buoyancy of 1500 lbs makes it a perfect boat for those starting out in boating. For those who appreciate comfort this boat is uncluttered by buoyancy bags.

Although the boat is made in the same way as originally designed more modern materials are now used. The epoxy coating makes for a virtually maintenance free finish that does not usually need repair for five years.
