Footy 'Smoothy'

The following is an introduction from Thomas Grimm, President of the IFCA.
“The small Footy Class boats are united in the IFCA (International Footy Class Association). Important international regattas, such as the Footy Gold Cup, have taken place. Many other RC sailing events were organized in the individual member countries. Unfortunately, the number of activities in the RC class has decreased due to Corona and the aging membership. There are currently larger footy events in France, Poland and the Czech Republic. Our contribution to a new, easy-to-print footy boat is intended to help create new activities for joint RC classes.

The Smoothy has undergone 14 years of development. In 2010 the boat was launched under the name Conrad in Salem Schlosssee/Germany. Sven-Hinrich Klatt made the first drawings. I then built the boat using the usual construction methods according to the IFCA rules. After being revised, it took part in international RC regatta events such as the Footy Gold Cup in
