V 230 FLYING FISH

Jack Bassett spent eight years building Flying Fish at home using the finest materials.  She has to be one of the very best Vertues in existence and is a beautiful sailing vessel in every way.

Please note that this delightful photograph of Flying Fish ghosting along under sail was taken by Benjamin Mendlowitz.
