FJThe FJ is a 13'-9" high performance two person planning dinghy. The boats use mainsails, jibs, and spinnakers. Crews may use a trapeze, hanging from a wire from the top of the mast to help keep the boat level in stronger winds. The boat was originally design by Uus van Essen as a small Flying Dutchman for junior sailors. At the time the Flying Dutchman was an Olympic class boat, but it was too large for most junior sailors to handle.
