Firefly Open Results and Report |
| |
| The Firefly is one of the
original classes sailed at South Staffs and as such has a long tradition
at the club. They are used as a junior training boat as a step from
Junior racing into full adult series, giving younger members a chance to
hone their boat handling skills in a truly responsive boat. |
|
| The new Rondar boats are
inexpensive and in addition to the 2 club owned training boats there are
7 in private hands. This does not mean that you have to have a brand new
boat to be competitive - in fact until recently F935 was regularly
winning races and the introduction of the Mark IV wooden conversion has
brought a new lease of life to the class. |
|
| Membership of the class
association costs £18.00 per year for which you get a regular bulletin,
keeping you up to date with all things to do with the Firefly and a
discount on new sails if ordered through the association. Membership
details can be found at the class website (see above) or an application
form can be downloaded below. |
