Vintage Yachting Class

The Flying Dutchman (FD) is a 20-foot-long high-performance racing dinghy, developed in the early 1950s. It made its Olympic debut at the 1960 Olympics. The FD is still one of the fastest trapeze dinghies in the world. [1] It has hiking straps for the skipper, and a trapeze for the crew. With plenty of sail area, it is probably still the fastest dinghy upwind. The FD carries three sails: a mainsail, a 200% genoa, and a generous spinnaker. Its light weight and large sail area allows it to plane easily upwind. The FD has been the basis for many important innovations in sailing over the past half century.

These innovations have happened because the FD is an open one-design class, where limited development is allowed and encouraged. Parameters that influence the speed of the boat directly, including hull shape, weight, sail area are strictly controlled, but other areas are open for development. The Flying Dutchman served her Olympic tour of duty from 1960 till the 1992 Olympics (inclusive). Since 2008 the Flying Dutchman is one of the Vintage Olympic classes at the Vintage Yachting Games.

History

It was in the late 1940s that the IYRU instigated a new modern 2-man international dinghy, the Tornado. She was not a success, as there was no leap forward compared to the existing pre-war classes.

The Royal Loosdrecht Yacht Club, Conrad Gulcher's club, obtained half a dozen Tornados and found them very uninspiring, Conrad had always been very interested in dinghy sailing and had collected any documentation connected with it. Pre-war he had enjoyed some international sailing in Germany and the UK and he had made many friends in the dinghy sailing scene. He imagined that with modern construction methods, moulded ply, a better boat could be constructed.

Being an Insurance Broker and not a designer he enlisted the help of Uus Van Essen, a naval architect and measurer for the Dutch Yacht Federation. They made a preliminary design and early in September 1951, it was sent to 30 top class helmsmen in Europe, including Bossom (SUI), John Cahmier (GBR), Charles Curry (GBR), Manfried Curry (GER), Ferry Laagwater (NED), Stewart Morris (GBR), Morits Skaugen (NOR) and Shorty Trimingham (BER), with the request to comment within two weeks.

The measurements were similar to the 15m2 Wanderjolle of mid-European lakes and popular Flying Fifteen. By the end of September, 23 responses had been returned with sufficient new and sound ideas to redesign the boat.

Mr. Loeff, chairman of the CBC, was prepared to discuss the boat at the November meeting of the IYRU, only when he had seen her sail. This was hardly feasible but Conrad had the mould and hull built in one week and the boat finished in another. Complete with the Tornado rig it took to the water against the 12m2 Sharpie and Tornado at Loosdrecht one week before the IYRU meetings and Mr Loeff took the plans to the IYRU for discussion.

Then it was decided to hold trials in the summer of 1952 in Holland and the name was born, suggested by Sir Peter Scott, the then president of the IYRU, the Flying Dutchman.

The trials were held on the Loosdrecht lakes and on the open water of the IJsselmeer at Muiden. 17 boats participated, some especially designed like the Osprey and Typhoon, others were existing classes including Hornet, Caneton, Thistle, Sharpie, Rennjolle, etc.

The results were clear and the Flying Dutchman (FD) was adopted; however with the limitation "for continental lakes only", and another set of trials was set up for 1953 at La Baule on the open sea.

In the mean time the small jib was replaced with the Genoa and a trapeze was added.

At La Baule there were again specially designed boats such as the Coronet, a smaller version of which later became the 505. Off the wind the Coronet with her bigger spinnaker and mainsail was faster (this is not just a recent problem) but on the wind the FD won.

It was clear that the FD did very well on the open sea and the "lakes" limitation was lifted. The Class started to blossom thanks to the promotional activities of Conrad through the Bulletin and a well structured Class Organisation.

By the 1960s there were fleets in all sorts of places such as the Lebanon, 25 in Morocco, 20 in Portuguese East Africa, Argentina, Venezuela, Thailand, apart from those in Europe, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

In 1956 the FD participated (Conrad Gulcher and Bob Boeschoten) in the cross-channel race from Folkestone to Boulogne-sur-Mer, and was the fastest two-man dinghy in the race.

In 1957 the FD was selected to replace the Sharpie at the 1960 Olympic Games in Naples. The FD is no longer an olympic class since 1992 (it was replaced by the laser class). In 1959 The Class President Slotty Dawes was presented a cup for the FD Week. The Week, with its unlimited number of boats were allowed from each country, this proved very successful. The Week was very competitive whilst remaining friendly, competitors lent each other sails (there was no equipment limitation in those days) and was well supported - in 1965, 126 boats from 24 nations took part.

The FD rules were tailored to have one design speed factors i.e. hull shape and weight, foil shapes and sails restricted and the rest left open to encourage development. As new ideas have evolved they have often been taken up by other classes, e.g. trapeze, spinnaker chute, double floor construction, windows in sails and numerous developments in fittings and even personal sail numbers.

The one design was guaranteed by the very simple, and consequently cheap and easily repeatable measurement system defined by Uss van Essen and born of his experiences as professional KNWV measurer.

Many well known yachtsmen have had a spell in the FD for example Mark Bethwaite, Paul Elvstrom, Hans Fogh, Ben Lexcen, Cam Lewis, Peder Lunde, Stewart Morris, Keith Musto, André Nelis, Yves and Marc Pajot, Rodney Pattisson, Harry Dunning, Ralph Roberts, Bruno Trouble, Ted Turner, Mike Macnamara, John Loveday, Jo Richards, Roger Yeoman, Will Henderson, Peter White, Pat Blake, Jon Turner, David Wilkins, Art Lange, Lansing Lee, Lewis Mettler and Douglas Drake.

Like many classes over the last few years, there has been a decline in the active Flying Dutchman sailors, but this has now been reversed and the class is growing again.
