Design 2273 Flyer

This boat was designed for the Whitbread Round the World Race of 1977. Everything about her is primarily to create the best possible combination of seaworthiness and speed through the oceans under sail. Good habitability for a company of eleven aboard is apparent in general arrangement. Special care was taken to ensure dry sleeping for all hands.

Flyer won the race over 14 competitors that year.


She was built by Jachtwerf W. Huisman of Holland prior to their being awarded Royal Huisman status. The boat was launched in 1977. She is constructed of aluminum.

Here are the plans.
