Jim Scott’s Formula Sailcraft was established in 2002 and has built over sixty Sabre dinghies. The 2019 and 2020 Sabre Australian Championships and 2020 Sabre Victorian Championships were both won by a Formula Sailcraft Sabre proving beyond doubt the race winning performance of the FSMk2 hull. All boats are built to a high level of quality and minimum weight using the latest technology Vacuum Infusion with Vinylester resin.
