WHAT'S NEW?

AVENGER (1928-2008) 2008 will be the 80th anniversary of Uffa's momentous break through in dinghy design. The now legendary boat is on display at Cowes Maritime Museum (in the local Library). She was the basis of Uffa's dinghy designs for probably thirty years, indeed Charles Currie won the Prince of Wales Cup in one of Uffa's Fairey Marine hot moulded boats in 1960. To mark this anniversary we would love to include photos of Uffa's Fourteens, especially Avenger if you have any, but of course we have to respect copyright so make sure they are either amateur or you can provide the photographer's permission to use. SO SEND US YOUR PHOTOS!! We have started the ball rolling with the original Sail Plan, Uffa with the 1928 spoils and on his Floating Bridge Workshop with dog Molly.

FLYING 25 A great tribute to Uffa's design skill is the number of his designs that live on, Flying Fiteens, Albacores, Fireflies, and many more. One design that we possibly never thought we would see again is the Flying 25. At 33 feet long she is a big keelboat with long overhangs, big brother of the ffifteen. Paul Woodman and John Bransgrove have made a beautiful job as you can see in the pictures below of making a modern version. The original 25, Kingfisher, was so fast in a force 6 in the Solent that the crew were allegedly quite frightened. We look forward to performance reports! Paul and John have called her Flying Fox.
