Dinghy Identification - Help

committee. I guess that the boats described below have all disappeared 

now as the Tempest won but perhaps it is one of these classes?

"All boats entered were built up to the limits of 22 ft. overall length and 

sail area of 247 ft. plus spinnaker. All had keels weighing 495 lb. Actually 

most of the boats when measured proved to have exceeded the sail area 

limit. We made note of this but let them sail anyway. Tempest’s area was 

exactly as specified.

Hull weight of the ten new designs entered varied considerably from 

under 300 lb. for Jack Knights’ home-built sharpie type Cobra to 797 lb. 

for Starlet, designed by H. E. Glacer. Tempest’s bare hull was second 

lightest at 440 lb. Other entrants were H. E. Glacer’s Champion, winner of 

the 1963 design competition of the IYRU; John Westell’s CVP43, looking 

very much like an overgrown 5-0-5; Flying Senior, a lovely looking boat 

by U. Van Essen, designer of the Flying Dutchman; Rapikee, designed by 

E. G. vander Stadt, and second in the design competition; J. M. Hannay’s 

Satellite, a variation on the hard chine Cobra; C. & B. Silvant’s Telstar 

which was more of a day-sailing than racing type, and P. Budde’s Flying 

Fish. Most of them were fine looking boats."
