Footy Design - Update - PDF

Competition Winner for the Chris Dicks Award
The clear winner was 'Footloose' by Richard Alford from Southwater Dabblers and the runner up was 'Friday' by Ian Dunmore from Woodbridge. I was surprised and pleased by the entries which show a lot of thought, different ideas and some innovation which is very refreshing. I was informed that there would be 2 junior entries to this competition next year and the interest being shown from the website Footy rules inclusion is already bearing fruit.

My own design BUG 2 was designed for a local school who want to use a Footy as a focus for a sailing project. At the AGM Philip Wiles made a hull from precut Correx parts in just over the hour.

I can see that this class would be a good trainer for youngsters.
