The
Flying Ant
The Flying Ant is a two person skiff dinghy with trapeze & spinnaker suitable for 12-17 year olds. It is an excellent training ground for the higher performance dinghies because although the boat is safe, easy and fun to handle, it is also an exciting planing dinghy that performs like many of the bigger boats.
