Footy The new kid on the block! The Footy is an open design class that is AMYA and MYA recognized. The Footy class is a Development class (Development classes are now termed Open classes as defined by ISAF Equipment Rules of Sailing) which provides lots of flexibility for builders, since anything not specifically prohibited or restricted by the class rules is legal. So the Footy is a perfect class for beginning and experienced boat designers alike. New ideas can be developed quickly and inexpensively. Footies exist primarily in UK, NZ, and now the US. South Daytona Model Yacht club may be the biggest collection of them in Forida. For more information on this exciting new class check out the AMYA Footy page

A Footy class boat must fit in a box 12"L X 12"D X 6"W. thus the name Footy. The Primary rig configuration is unlimited. Radio control is two channels only, and must be powered by 4 AA batteries. Several different hull designs have been developed, and Footys have been built with lateen rigs, gaff rigs, swing rigs, and genoa jibs. The small size makes scratchbuilding fun, but full kits, partial kits, and plans are available for less ambitious skippers.

About a half dozen of us in the club are building them at the moment, using Graham McAllister's Kittiwake kit, available at ScaleSailing.com. Graham's Kittiwake Footies are found in Australia, Belgium, Sweden, England, Ireland, Canada and mostly the USA. Our own Don Hawes, of US 12 fame, has come up with a Footy design as well, (see below) The beauty of the Footy is you can bang one out in about a week or less from start to finish. Add electronics and look out swimming pools, wading pools, ponds and other small water venues (she also handles big water lakes as well)
