The National Redwing
When the Looe Sailing Club commissioned Uffa Fox to design the Redwing it was stipulated that she must be
a sturdy, able seaboat first and foremost and at the same time fast and fun to sail. At first the boat remained an
exclusively West Country class where her qualities in the steep open seas around these coasts were
immediately appreciated, but soon her popularity spread to other parts of the coast where similar conditions
prevail, until now the latest sail number is 251.
The Redwing is not a “do-it-yourself” type of boat, but one that needs skilful craftsmanship in her
construction. She is built to stand up to any amount of rough treatment, and to last for many years. Boats that
are now over 60 years old still race regularly at the annual championships and perform admirably. As a
consequence, when boats do change hands, which is not often, the second-hand price remains remarkably
steady.
However, thanks to the efforts of our boat builders and restorers, over the last couple of decades there are now
plenty newer and refurbished boats joining the fleet to complement the older hulls weathered from more half a
century of hard racing. The first boats are now more than sixty years old but with a little bit of TLC even a
tired or neglected boat can be given a new lease of life. For example, R19 ‘Gleam’, built in 1947, was found
worn-out and abandoned in 1978 and put back in commission for five pounds. Years later and after many
changes of ownership she was restored again and is now in regular use in the IOS fleet. Also R30 ‘Talofa’,
built in the same year is currently being restored and should be under sail again in the 2014 season. As far as
we know the only pre-war survivor in seaworthy condition is number 2 ‘Kittiwake’, recently given a thorough
restoration to beautiful condition by Richard Spiller. Number 1, ‘Jackdaw’ is believed to still be at Polruan but
probably not in commission.
Finally, to quote Uffa Fox: “Those who know and understand Redwings are inspired by their seaworthiness.
They are outstandingly brave little boats, from which we can learn that the sea is to sail upon... in a boat in
which we can enjoy the sea in all its moods and not fear it.. even in a hat-ful of wind.”
NOTES
The National Redwing Class is affiliated to the Royal Yachting Association and hence all Class Rules and
measurement details are administered by their Technical Unit. All Redwings engaging in Class or Handicap
racing must be registered with the RYA and hold a valid Certificate of Measurement. Since most Redwings
qualify for a certificate it is simply a matter of writing to the RYA Technical Unit, RYA House, Ensign Way,
Hamble, Southampton, SO31 4YA, quoting your sail number and boat name. Or go to www.rya.org.uk and follow
links to Racing, Classes, Measurement etc.
The registration fees are £15.32 for RYA members and £25.53 for non-members.
REDWING BUILDERS
There is no restriction upon the builders of the Redwing Dinghy. Anyone wishing to do so may contact the RYA for
approval and issue of a sail number and copies of Class Rules. However, construction plans are no longer available
from the RYA, the originals having been lost or destroyed by them. Please contact the Hon. Secretary for details of
obtaining plan copies and other details.

“Those who know and understand
Redwings are inspired by their
seaworthiness. They are
outstandingly brave little boats from
which we can learn that the sea is to
sail upon in a boat in which we can
enjoy the sea in all its moods”.
