The Flying 25 was the largest of Uffa’s Flying series of open keelboats. She is reputed to have been so fast she frightened some of the crew! Uffa designed a range of small keelboats based around the popular Flying 15. They ranged from the Flying 10 (14ft) to this the biggest – the Flying 25 (33ft).
A new build by Paul Woodman, has been screaming down under. Faithful to Uffa Fox’s hull shape form, with composite materials, the sailplan, and the keel foils have not. With 2 Additional feet of mast height, increased luff lengths, reduced Genoa overlap, “The Fox” as she affectionately is known down under, has proven to be quite a performer.
