Flying Dutchman (dinghy)
The Flying Dutchman is a high-performance class of racing dinghy. It has a planar hull, a hiking strap for the skipper, and a trapeze for the crew. It can fly a mainsail, a roller furling 150% genoa, and can launch and retrieve a spinnaker from a port in the foredeck, at the bow. Modern FDs also have a continuous trapeze system, and a spinnaker pole launcher.
