The Waszp (/wɒsp/ ⓘ) is an Australian class of single-handed, hydrofoiling dinghy, designed by Andrew McDougall in 2016 as a one-design racer for both youth and adult racing. The Waszp class includes 4 different rig sizes, each using the same hull with different wing designs. The design was named 2017 Best One-Design in Sailing World's Boat of the Year Awards.
The waszp hull can be used for sail sizes of 8.2m, 7.5m, 6.9m, and 5.8m rigs, each designed for different age groups and sizes.
