| | | Former Olympic Class | The firefly is a two sail hiking sailing dinghy with no spinnaker. It was designed by Uffa Fox in 1938]]. Although originally designed as a double hander, it was selected as the single handed class for the 1948 Olympics but was subsequently replaced by the Finn class. The class then became popular as a double hander, as was originally intended, and remains so today. It has become particularly successful as the de-facto team racing boat in the UK thanks to its high maneuverability, easy handling and low cost. Another benefit is the use of smaller mains. This is so the sailing does not cease when the wind blows hard. The Firefly ideal was to produce a one design dinghy at a low cost. This why the class continues to grow and is celebrating it 60th anniversary in 2006. The Firefly appeals to all ages and is raced by men and women equally. 2 GP14s, a Topper and a Graduate Dinghy sailing is the activity of sailing small boats by using (1) the sails and (2) underwater foils (centreboard and rudder). ...
