English
The International H-Boat was the first GRP moulded yacht to gain one-design class status back in 1968. The designer Hans Groop was commissioned by the Segelsällskrab Yacht Club to update the wooden Folkboat concept for mass GRP production and the H-Boat was born. By 1970 the boat was in production under license across Europe with builders. To date in excess of 5000 boats have been launched with one-design classes to be found racing across the globe.
FINAL FLING is a much loved example of the class. With her current owner since 2001 she has been used for local club racing predominately. Lying ashore in Tighnabruaich she is available for viewing by prior appointment.
