	Famous British designer Uffa Fox brought the Square Meter class to Great Britian. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		So much did he believe in the design that after launching Vigilant, Uffa took the boat for 2 spins in the Cowes area before loading the boat with food, extra sails and other gear and taking off for the races in Sandhamn, Sweden.
		In the 30's, Uffa Fox was probably the most prominant force for the creation of a British fleet of square meters.
		Uffa's owership of Waterwitch quickly resulted in his own design, the "Sea Swallow", with the Fox trademark canoe-stern.

		We were told, amongst other things, of Uffa being caught speeding on his horse Frantic through Niton doing 34mph, but the Chief Constable at the time was reluctant to increase Uffa's notoriety by setting the precedent of making him the first to be convicted for speeding on a horse.
		The pride of the cruisers were Vigilant, a 22 Square Metre which Uffa sailed to Stockholm in 1930 to compete in the Royal Swedish Yacht Club Centenary Races, and Mary Lunn, a 35 footer built in India in 1940.
		Uffa was surprisingly calm and the boat was repaired within two days and the owner none the wiser.

	★ Reviews for Fox,_Uffa
		Uffa Fox lived his entire life on the Isle of Wight in the heart of England's best yachting district.
		Between 1934 and 1938, he produced 5 exquisite volumes of what amount to sailing vessel criticism, complete with beautifully redrawn lines, interior and structural arrangements, and commentaries, many from his own experience with the subject craft.
		In the late '70's, 50 of these commentaries were collected and reprinted, with updated editor's notes, and a brief biography as the Best of Uffa.

		The story of Uffa Fox's campaign for the New York Challenge Cup is well known.
		Suffice to say that by a daring design stratagem, Uffa Fox built a canoe which conformed to both the English and American rules.
		In 1996 the hull shape of the IC is still substantially the same as the Uffa Fox design of 1933, with the addition of a square chined transom designed by lan Proctor.

	Pegasus 18 - Athene
		Uffa Fox rose to the challenge and the result is the Pegasus, which at the time proved to be one of the best performing dinghies around.
		As a fan of Uffa Fox designs I was interested to see the Pegasus at the Classic and Vintage Racing Dinghy Association's Regatta at Roadford Lake.
		She was lost and recovered whilst Eric was sailing her through "The Swellies" on the Menia Straights she was taken down by a whirl pool and re appeared at Beamaris the following day minus here rig hence she now has a metal mast.

		I think she was made in Uffa's own yard but having spoke to Mike Dixon, who is the custodian of Uffa's remaining records, it is not thought that mine came from his yard.
		My assumption always was that (apart from Uffa Fox’s airborne lifeboats?) their first commercial venture was the Firefly around 1946.
		I GUESS that Uffa Fox probably conceived the F15 in late 1946 (his books are somewhat vague about exact dates) but the first one was not built until 1947.

		He may be biased, given his position and the fact that he's sailed one for over 12 years, but many people would be hard-pressed to disagree.
		Uffa Fox realised their potential, writing in 1937 that "The Dragons have the qualities sought for in one-design classes.

		From 1934 to 1938 Uffa produced five books describing (and copiously illustrating) the best designs of those years.
		As a celebration of the centenary of Uffa's birth, Guy Coles' 1978 compilation of extracts from Uffa’s five volumes has been re-issued, and it certainly makes a fitting memorial.

		In 1928 Uffa Fox introduced planing to astonished racing world in his International 14 the Avenger.
		This is because of earlier work of pioneers such as Uffa and through the use of modern designs techniques such as lighter hull materials (eg and foam sandwich hull construction which eliminate maintenance of wooden hulls) more responsive sail and design easily transportable boats (many car-toppable) simpler rigs such as Gennakers instead of complex Spinnakers.

		Timed trials over a distance have now gone out of fashion and it is certain that more recent and improved versions of the Jollyboat have gone faster since 1954.
		It is ironical to reflect that Uffa Fox designed the Jollyboat as a dinghy which would give him more room and time in which to move over the boat when tacking, advancing years being his reason.
		It is typical of the man that the dinghy then turns out to be the fastest which he has ever designed.

		The Flying Fifteen has been modernised over the years with Uffa Fox agreeing to changes to improve the design specification and sail plan.
		By this time the class had established itself in a number of countries and when J. Calvert-Jones came from Australia and won the UK Championships the stimulus was provided to seek international status.

		Fox was perhaps one of the most renowned British yacht designers from the 1930s through the 1950s.
		Fairy Aviation, the parent company of Fairey Marine established in 1946, had been formed by Sir Richard Fairey in 1915 to build wooden aircraft, the most famous being the Swordfish Torpedo Bomber that was deemed responsible for sinking most of the Italian naval fleet during WWII.
		What distinguished the Fairey dinghies was the method of construction earlier developed for the Fairey aircraft: a hot molding process joining multiple layers of thin wood veneers and glue to produce an extremely light and extremely strong hull.

		To have your name on a yachting trophy alongside such names as Uffa Fox, Sir Peter Scott, Charles Curry, and others is not an everyday occurrence.
		In the late 1940s, Uffa Fox’s Alarm design took the fleet into one of its more one-design phases, but the development eventually moved on to where we are today.
		It’s a far cry from the clinker built cotton sail powered boats of Uffa Fox’s day — so perhaps the slogan of “14s are forever” isn’t an idle boast.
