 F11s

“I have again come to realise that there is nothing anywhere in the world as suitable for 10 to 18 year olds as the F11’s. "

"Fantastic boats in a breeze, incomparable on reaches, physically testing at times, tolerant of a wide range of weights, light skippers can match up with heavier crews, heavier and rapidly growing skippers can remain competitive by using smaller younger crews, thereby introducing the younger ones to the class. "

"Sensible class rules allow minor developments and the opportunity for some individualisation – important if our young sailors are to fully develop knowledge and skills. More than competitive with any other boat of similar size in any conditions, and despite its relatively long history, still “state of the art”?"  

"This boat has some history but has also stood the test of time….  If you were going to redesign it for the next 20 years there is little that you would want to change."

Flying Eleven Association of Australia Incorporated

The Flying Eleven is designed as high performance racing skiff suitable for 12 to 18 year olds. It is an excellent a follow-on boat for Sabots, Manly Juniors & other junior classes. The Flying 11 class is very strong around Australia, with National regattas attracting fleets of over 100 boats. In the last few years alone, over 100 new boats have been launched - a statistic unmatched by most other dinghy classes. Perth's Nedlands Yacht Club will play host to next F11 National Titles scheduled to be held in January 2007 and㻟 boats competed on Lake Macquarie at the 2006 Championship. High performance sailing is fast becoming the goal of a great many dinghy sailors with the appearance of 49ers as an Olympic class. The Flying Eleven is a logical step in the transition between junior classes and prepares young sailors for classes such as Cherubs, 420s, 470s, 29ers, Moths, 13s or even 49ers.
