 If you wish to sail a Flying Dutchman (skipper or crew) please email the webmaster and he will place your name and contact details on the FD website. Include experience, height, weight, residential address and any other relevant information.  When a try FD sailing day is organised the class will contact you.  

The Flying Dutchman is a two handed monohull that remains one of the fastest most enjoyable dinghies to sail. The Flying Dutchman was a former Olympic class, and should be considered an excellent choice for sailors looking to learn what Olympic sailing is all about. Now that the Flying Dutchman is no longer an Olympic class, the cost of a Flying Dutchman has reduced significantly making the Flying Dutchman one of the most affordable and durable dinghies available today.  Australia has a large and active Flying Dutchman fleet, with National and State titles held annually. The competition is fierce and friendly with social functions and outings at most championships. Join the Flying Dutchman community and enjoy your sailing.   The Flying Dutchman is a yacht for all sailors with plenty of room inboard for tall sailors and when the wind gets up the heavier sailors benefit through the extra sail available on the Flying Dutchman.   Photos by John Ford
