The Trac 14 is an American catamaran sailing dinghy that was designed by Australians Richard McFarlane and Jay McFarlane as a one-design racer and first built in 1980.[1][2]

The design is a licensed version of the 1976 Windrush 14, which was originally known as the Surfcat and built by Windrush Catamarans of Australia. The Trac 14 is 25 lb (11 kg) heavier than the Windrush 14.[1][3]
