The Firefly
can be sailed as a single-handed
dinghy in club racing.
The Firefly is
ideal for your first boat, it’s light and responsive, and doesn’t have a spinnaker.
There are 2 club Fireflies all in good racing trim and are available to club
members to race or just potter around. Its ideal for a teenagers first boat,
in which they can learn their racing skills. The Firefly is the principal “Team
racing” dinghy
Children from the Harp Young Sailors have been using the Firefly to learn the
skills on a more responsive boat.
Firefly
The
12' firefly is a strict one design sailing dinghy. Firstly constructed in wood,
but now most boats are in GRP.
This means that providing your sails are in good condition you can be as competitive
as the newest of boats.
The boat is ideal for Team Racing, and is sailed by most universities.

Wembley sailors having a laugh during the October Open Meeting, sadly they did
not come first.
