Hornet Dinghy

The Hornet is a British two-person planing dinghy designed by Jack Holt in 1952, 4.88 m (16 ft) long, originally with a sliding plank for crew righting moment and later a trapeze, carrying a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker. It was an early fast hiking-and-trapeze class and a strict one-design under its UK class association. Fleets are now small and concentrated in the United Kingdom. The Hornet has never been an Olympic class.
