The Fish class sloop, also known informally as the Fish Boat, is a one-design sailboat designed in 1919 by New Orleans resident Rathbone De Buys,[1] member of the Southern Yacht Club. It is reputed to have been the most popular sailboat racing class on the US Gulf Coast in the early 20th century[2] and was the Gulf Yachting Association one-design racer until it was replaced by the Flying Scot in 1969. It should not be confused with Nat Herreshoff's larger sloops,[3] the Annisquam Fish Class Marconi rigged catboats,[4] nor various motor yachts and surfboards of similar names. SpecificationsThe Fish class sloop is a gaff-rig, fixed-keel, hard chine, v-hull sloop, originally made of wood, which can carry a crew of from two to five (usually three) depending on the wind. Its specifications are length 20' 6", waterline 16', beam 6', draft 3', weight {{convert|1500|lb|abbr=on}}, ballast {{convert|220|lb|abbr=on}}, sail area {{convert|270|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, mainsail area {{convert|216|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}, jibsail area {{convert|54|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}.[5] In early years a club foot jib was used and in later a genoa jib was used. Rules have been modified to allow aluminum spars and hulls made partially or totally of fiberglass composite.[6] When the Fish is raced in a cruising class event its (2008) Portsmouth yardstick rating is 97.1.[7] It is not listed in the PHRF critical dimension database.[8] Notes1. ^http://www.fishclass.org/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=2&MMN_position=2:2 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070310211531/http://www.fishclass.org/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=2&MMN_position=2%3A2 |date=2007-03-10 }} Online transcript of De Buys' 1948 short history of the design 2. ^Southern Yacht Club - History 3. ^{{cite book| last = Jones| first = Gregory O.| authorlink = | coauthors =| title = Herreshoff Sailboats| publisher = MBI Publishing Company| date = December 25, 2004| location = St. Paul| page = 118| url = | doi = | id = | isbn = 978-0-7603-1160-8}} 4. ^divide_for_sail_boats 5. ^Fish Class Sloop at NYCP site 6. ^http://www.fishclass.org/files/phatfile/FishClassRules2001.pdf 7. ^US SAILING - Portsmouth Yardstick Keelboats 8. ^US SAILING PHRF access database 2007_2.xls See also
