Designed for the 1952 Olympic 2 man dinghy selection Trials. Though the FLYING DUTCHMAN was selected, the significantly smaller OSPREY proved faster in the first round.
Designed originally as a trainer for the Royal Navy.
A class association and web site did exist at one time.
Designed as a replacement for an earlier BEMBRIDGE REDWING (1897). The REDWING is not a strict one-design as owners are free to experiment with different rigs within a total Sail Area Limitation.
The NORLIN MARK III is the most popular 2.4 METER design.
Self tacking jib standard.
A (single) fin keel version was also available.
Later called HUNTER HORIZON 232.
Also sold in fit form.
A boat of this design was available under a number of different names including the VAGABOND 14, HOLDER 14, and MONARCH 14. Sold but not actually produced by O’Day.
The name RANDMEER comes from the “Rim Lakes” of Holland. (An active class existed in 2010.)
Somewhat later came a cruising version with a small cabin called the TROTTER. A redesigned version of the latter with more freeboard became the TROTTER-PANDORA.
