Sailboat Rental Details
13' International Flying Junior
(FJ)
This is a one design, sloop rigged, racing sailing dinghy which was originally designed in 1955 in the Netherlands
by renowned boat designer Van Essen and Olympic sailor Conrad Gülcher. The FJ was built to serve as a training
boat for the Olympic-Class Flying Dutchman.
The FJ has a beam of 4'11" and an overall sail area of 100 square feet. These dimensions make the FJ an ideal
class to teach young sailors the skills of boat handling and racing. They are sailed throughout the world and can
be found in the fleet of many high school sailing and Intercollegiate Sailing Association programs.
The FJ's open cockpit seating is perfect for 2 people but you can possibly squeeze in a small 3rd; as long as you
don't mind a little congestion and everyone is on the smaller side.
