One-Design Division
The One-Design Division is the traditional sailboat racing for
smaller boats, typically sailed by one or 2 people, and generally launched each day from a
trailer or dolly. Most of our One Design Races are run in Fishing Bay -
See Chartlet and aerial photograph.
The One Design Division
runs a full season of races
, a Spring and a Fall Series,
and a series of regattas in the Summertime. By definition One Design means boats of a
similar type, so there is usually no rating system used.
The one-design fleets which are active at FBYC include two person boats:
Flying Scot,
Mobjack,
Frontrunner , and
420
and one person boats:
Optimist and
Laser.

Byte
|
Jan Monnier 691-0509 |
12' planing hull, single handed, main only. A Byte is a very high performance dinghy sized for people that are between 90 and 165 pounds. This gives the folks that are too small to handle
a Laser or Laser Radial competitively something to bomb around on. According to the sales literature, that is 95% of adult women, 100% of the
early adolescents, and 40% of adult men! It's an up and coming thing! |

Laser

Jon Deutsch 804-305-1244

Chesapeake Bay laser Masters in September 10-11, 2005 for those 35 and up. Check out the fleet homepage at http://www.fbyc.net/Fleets/OneDesign/Laser |
