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

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 has been little action for quite some time. Whereabouts are you based?

Thanks Gary.

Based in Kent.

I was looking around and trying to find boat manufacturers but seemed to only find dead links.

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.

Ah, the Racing Sparrow looks interesting! 🤔

I think I’ll give that one a go. Thank you!

The adventure begins! Files purchased!

Thanks again for the pointer, Gary!

My pleasure! The more Footys the better!
