Do you have any box for the boat, keel and sails?

Hi, Is it a professional build boat? Who was the builder thks

My pleasure! The more Footys the better!

The adventure begins! Files purchased! Thanks again for the pointer, Gary!

Ah, the Racing Sparrow looks interesting! 🤔 I think I’ll give that one a go. Thank you!

I'm afraid there isn't much on the market. I have the moulds for a couple of boats and there are a few 3d printed versions around. I'm putting together a Racing Sparrow 3d printed footy at the moment just for comparison purposes and there are a couple on 'Thingiverse' if you have a friend with a printer. The RS one I'm makjng is also availzble as a printed kit of parts but you do have to source some components seperately. Gary

Thanks Gary. Based in Kent. I was looking around and trying to find boat manufacturers but seemed to only find dead links.

Footy still exists in a few pockets around the country. We sail the class once a month at Hollowell Radio Sailing Club. The class registrar sails with us but the class captain no longer sails. There is an active group of Footy sailors in Cornwall and the Birmingham club also sails monthly. The websites are still operational as far as I can tell but there hax been littke action for quite some time. Whereabouts are you based?

What’s happened to the Footy class? All the websites I’ve found appear to have ceased. Does the class still exist?

Hi, yes it is still available. I'm available Monday through to Thursday next week. Cheers Chris

I based my distances based on measurements taken from the control area, provided by a member of the jury and by a member of the race committee. The fact remains that in many heats umpires, observers and competitors could not read the sail numbers at the furthest mark. The result is an increase in incidents and a decrease in decisions.

Hi. Is this still available please?

If you contact MYA with the number, they will transfer ownership. The Manta will be in the name of Howard Hooper. Sorry don’t recall if stand was left.

Sorry, now purchased another boat R.

I would have loved to sail RA. However, the family holiday has gotten in the way. ☹️ As a bit of a reconciliation I have everything lined up for the M nationals in September.

Mark Robinson, entries are now open for you and everyone else racing Radio A class. Come along with your Sword!!
