The Flying Eleven is an Australian boat designed as a high-performance racing skiff suitable for 12- to 18-year-olds.[1]
High performance sailing has become more prominent for dinghy sailors with the appearance of 49ers as an Olympic class. The Flying Eleven is considered a "stepping stone" in the transition between junior classes such as the Manly JuniororSabot and prepares young sailors for higher classes.[2][additional citation(s) needed]
In 2006, the Winning Appliances National Championships featuring flying elevens was expected to[clarification needed] bring 90 entrants to Lake Macquarie.[2] In 2019, the national flying eleven regatta hosted by Port Stephens Sailing and Aquatic Club was expected to[clarification needed] attract 42 boats.[1]
