Originally designed for the home builder.
Later adapted for FG construction.

Like the US SABOT, the AUSTRALIAN SABOT is loosely based on a design by Charles McGregor that appeared in (US) The Rudder Magazine in 1939. Similar though not the same as the US version.
From class web site:
“Over 1250 planpacks have gone to more than 35 countries. More than 600 of the small sailing dinghy have been successfully amateur built.”
“Two friends, well known New Zealand designer John Spencer and Peter Tait are responsible for the Firebug. The idea was to come up with a small boat which could be home built at low cost…”
