Firefly is the prototype of a new one-design race-classic of the F-class. She is developed as a high-performance racer, optimised to race in the Spirit of Tradition class. The design brief called “for a yacht to be fast on all points of sail, both in light- and heavy wind”. With a displacement of just below 60 ton and a draft of 5,2 meter, the design is extremely powerful.
The one-design class that is developed under the auspiciën of the F-Class Association also allows a lifting keel to be used, but the first prototype has been built with a fixed keel.
The deck layout can be customised. The interior, for the first yacht, is minimal, although a regular interior layout is possible and accepted in the Class. For information please contact Hoek Design or visit the F-class Association Website
Currently the construction of a second F-class yacht has commenced. The F-class series is marketed and sold by Hoek Brokerage. For sales information contact Hoek Brokerage or visit www.hoekbrokerage.com
