FLYING DUTCHMAN
Flying Dutchman (FD) sailing is a prestigious and technically demanding discipline in competitive sailing, featuring a sleek 6.06-meter (20-foot) two-person high-performance dinghy designed for exceptional speed and precision. Renowned for its advanced rigging and responsive handling, the FD challenges crews to master teamwork, coordination, and fine-tuned sail control to extract maximum performance in varying wind and wave conditions.
Since its debut as an Olympic class in 1960, the Flying Dutchman has captivated elite sailors worldwide and cultivated a dedicated international community through numerous championships and regattas. Its blend of technical mastery, strategic racing, and camaraderie makes FD sailing both an exhilarating competitive pursuit and a deeply social experience.
PSC proudly hosts an active Flying Dutchman fleet, with regular weekend racing and spirited training sessions bringing together sailors for fast-paced, tactical racing and strong fellowship on and off the water.
