The Firefly


The Firefly enables you and a friend to sail a responsive dinghy with a main and a jib. These videos will give you a brief introduction to the boat, how to rig and unrig, and how to tack and gybe. Note: Sailors must have a provisional rating to take out a Firefly.

Fireflies on the River


From SailngWorld.com The Firefly is popular amongst team racers in Europe, so MIT ordered 20 semi-custom models from Rondar Raceboats USA in nearby Peabody, Mass. In February, we joined a handful of team members for their second outing with the boats.
