Huff of Arklow

The “Huff of Arklow” undoubtedly holds a unique position in the annals of sailing history. A forerunner in design,
she heralded a new era in racing yacht construction. However, as many revolutionary phenomena, she was at first
greeted with ridicule and doubt. She is still today a very distinctive sight, but back in 1951, on her construction, she was so sensational as to leave most observers speechless.

Designed by the late Uffa Fox, mentor of sailing to the Royal Family and wonderful dinghy-sailor and boat designer, she is the development of the International 15', the fastest dinghy design achieved by Uffa. Built by Jack Tyrell and Sons in Arklow, Southern Ireland for Mr.Douglas Heard, she could lay claim to a series of revolutionary
innovations for being:

• The world’s first ocean going yacht to be designed to the concept of the “Fin and Skeg” configuration, a design which is universal today. For this reason the “Huff of Arklow” could be said to be the Grandfather of the modern day racing yacht and America’s Cup boats.

• The first masthead rig sloop.

• The first ocean going yacht designed to plane, based on Uffa Fox’s highly successful “Flying Fifteen” dinghy.

She was built on two moulded skins of mahogany with the outer skin running fore and aft, whilst the inner skin runs diagonally. This gives the vessel its great strength.

Huff of Arklow is operated by Cremyll Sailing, www.cremyll-sailing.org.uk, a recognized RYA Training Centre and member of ASTO (Association of Sea Training Organisations), www.asto.org.uk.

The RYA recognizes Huff of Arklow to be a classic boat extremely well suited for training courses up to the level of Yachtmaster and Cruising Instructor. For more information please contact Barbara Simi-Bridgman on 01752 823007 or on info@cremyll-sailing.org.uk
