The 49er FX is the new Olympic skiff for women which will make its debut at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. It shares the same platform as the 49er but with different mast and sails. The new FX sailplan has been carefully designed by North Sails using ideas from America's Cup and 18ft skiff designs. These efficient upwind sails and new spinnaker design allow the FX to compete with the larger 49er in most conditions.
With dealers in countries around the world you can rest assured professional help is always at hand.

I have been a OB customer for 12 years. Ovington has continuously been trying hard to maintain the one design principles for the benefit of the 49er class. This is a huge effort in a handmade building process. Dave Ovington...More Testimonials
