Flyer (yacht)

A "Flyer" in the context of yachting most commonly refers to a specific class or design of sailing yacht known for its racing performance or notable voyages. It can also be the name of an individual yacht, often chosen to suggest speed, agility, and a competitive spirit. Without further context, it is difficult to pinpoint a universally recognized "Flyer" yacht.

Many boat builders have produced models which could be considered a "Flyer" based on their design characteristics. Historical examples or more recent designs focused on speed and maneuverability might be informally called a "Flyer" by enthusiasts.

If referring to a specific yacht named "Flyer," additional information would be necessary, such as the builder, designer, year of construction, notable races participated in, or significant achievements, to provide a complete and accurate description. In many cases, the name is chosen by the owner and does not intrinsically define a specific class or design characteristic beyond conveying a general impression of speed and efficiency.

The term "Flyer" can also be used figuratively in the yachting world to describe any fast or well-performing yacht, even if it's not the official name.
