Fireflies are the leading collegiate center-board racing dinghies in the UK,
and MIT now has a major fleet of 20 boats!
The Firefly is a fun, fast, 2-person, 2-sail sloop which can be
sailed competitively by a far wider range of sailor-sizes than FJs.
Come as a skipper-crew team, or come alone and find a partner on the dock!
