1 THE FLICA PROJECT
2 THE HISTORY In 1928 the aviation pioneer Sir Richard Fairey and the yacht designer Charles Nicholson embarked on an extensive programme of research and development to create a new 12 Metre Class racing yacht. Sir Richard Fairey started by hydrodynamic testing hull models of his Fife 12 Metre Modesty and then constructed a low speed wind tunnel at Fairey Aviation Company s Hayes factory for sails research. Lloyds Register reports Fairey Aviation Company wind tunnel reports on Flica The excellence of Charles Nicholson s design combined with Sir Richard Fairey s competitive spirit and the technical sophistication of the aviation industry produced a design that would soon be developed into a yacht that could have changed the course of history of the America s Cup. Fairey and Nicholson in the cockpit 1932 Flica racing at Cowes in 1932 Designed from the outset to win, Fairey's new 12 Metre yacht Flica was built to conform to the 2nd International Rule and launched at Camper & Nicholson s Gosport yard on Thursday 9th May Sir Richard Fairey gradually improved Flica's performance and from 1932 onwards she was the boat to beat in the 12 Metre Class. Not only was Flica the best of the12s, Fairey was also our best helmsmen. In 1932 Fairey won 35 flags in 39 races and in flags in 55 races. With Sir Richard Fairey at the helm Flica s success was unparalleled and his personal collection of press cuttings stands as a fine testimony to her greatness.
3 THE AMERICA S CUP During 1933 Fairey ran a substantial research, development and wind tunnel programme at Hayes with the specific intention to issue a 12 Metre America s Cup challenge for Flica W/T model with duraluminium spars 1933 Flica sailing for the press 18th September 1933 In correspondence with Fairey, Sir William Burton, President of the International Yacht Racing Union, debated the chances of the New York Yacht Club accepting a 12 Metre as opposed to a J-Class yacht. In any event, Sir William Burton maintained that it would not be necessary for Fairey to build a new yacht as Flica was so far ahead of the fleet in the 12 Metre Class. In May 1933 W.H. Appleton, writing from New York to Yachting World, conceded that the Americans were way behind with 12 Metre design and that it would take some time for them to get on the same competitive footing with the British and Scandinavians. Mr. Appleton also reported that in the previous year the American 12 Metre fleet had been outclassed by the ex-sopwith 12 Metre Mouette: an excellent yacht but one already outclassed by the superb Flica. In contrast to the Americans, Fairey was on top of his game and so it seems, that with good reason, the New York Yacht Club might have been reluctant to accept a 12 Metre America s Cup match in Herbert Diaper (skipper) and crew on board Flica (left) and Evadne (right) in September 1933
4 On 16 th October 1933 the formula for a new 3 rd Rule affecting the 12 Metre Class was agreed at the International Conference in London. The next morning, 17 th October 1933, Major Heckstall-Smith made an announcement that the New York Yacht Club had been asked to accept a challenge for the America s Cup in 1934 from Sir Thomas Sopwith with his new J-Class yacht Endeavour via the Royal Yacht Squadron. With this announcement Sopwith had effectively closed the door on Fairey s hopes for a 12 Metre America s Cup challenge as the Americans were bound by the Deed of Gift to accept a J-Class yacht. C&N Flica General Arrangement dated 12 th December 1928 It now appears that Fairey, still determined to keep ahead of the fleet and still with half an eye on a 12 Metre America s Cup challenge, instructed Nicholson to modify Flica s lead keel to conform to the new 3 rd Rule as introduced at the International Conference. C&N Flica Docking Plan 367/4 dated 13 th August 1949 On 22 nd December 1933, Yachting World reported that Fairey had issued a challenge to the North American Yacht Racing Union for an International Challenge Trophy for the 12 Metre Class. At the same time Fairey announced that he had given instructions to Nicholson to commence the construction of a new 3 rd Rule 12 Metre yacht with which he would race against the Americans. The Americans, however, did not rise to Fairey s latest challenge, the new yacht never left the drawing board and by 5 th January 1934 Fairey had sold Flica to Hugh Goodson. Fairey appears to have been persuaded, perhaps by Sir William Burton or Sir Thomas Sopwith, that the only way to achieve his ambition of an America s Cup challenge was to do so with a yacht complying with an LWL between 65 and 90 feet as set out in the America s Cup Deed of Gift.
5 The result of all this turmoil was that early in 1934 Fairey purchased Shamrock V from Sir Thomas Sopwith and went sailing with the King George V. During 1934 and 1935 Fairey sailed Shamrock V and experimented with 65 to 90 feet LWL designs in the wind tunnel at Hayes. In 1934 he came second in the J-Class to Sopwith s new yacht Endeavour. In 1935, Fairey, still determined to make an America s Cup challenge in a smaller yacht than a J-Class, issued a challenge via the Royal London Yacht Club with the 65 feet LWL K-Class yacht Windflower. Once again, Fairey s attempts were thwarted, the challenge was not accepted by the New York Yacht Club, the Windflower was never built and in 1936 Fairey returned to the 12 Metre Class with the new Nicholson 12 Metre Evaine. Hugh Goodson at the helm of the 3 rd Rule Flica Flica was Hugh Goodson s first taste of the 12 Metre Class and he continued with her successful racing career right up until 1938 by which time he too had ambitions for a 12 Metre America s Cup challenge. In 1938, inspired by his success with Flica and with an America s Cup challenge in mind, Hugh Goodson commissioned a new yacht, Flica II, from naval architects Laurent Giles and she was launched in and Flica II in 1958 In the event, Goodson had to wait twenty years before he could realise his America s Cup ambitions. In 1957 he issued a 12 Metre challenge for the first post-war America s Cup with his Royal Yacht Squadron Syndicate yacht Sceptre and the New York Yacht Club accepted. The Americans held defender trials that were contested by the yachts Vim, Columbia, Weatherly and Easterner. The results of the races between Vim and Columbia were very close and in the end the matter was settled by a supplementary race that Columbia won by just 13 seconds.
6 Sceptre and Evaine in 1958 Columbia in 1958 In the run up to the America s Cup, Hugh Goodson tested Sceptre against Evaine and Flica II in home waters but Flica was not included in the America s Cup challenger trials. History records that Hugh Goodson took his challenger to Newport and was soundly defeated. America s Cup challengers: Richard Fairey (left) and Hugh Goodson (right) at the helm of Flica Sir Richard Fairey knew nothing of the 1958 America s Cup and the Fairey technical reports, one of the best kept secrets in yachting history, were left on the shelves of the Fairey Technical Office. Subsequent owners of Flica did little to improve her handling or performance to keep her up at the top of the 12 Metre Class and she was allowed to retire gracefully from the register as 12mR in So what were the great changes in yacht design that led to Flica s decline? The answer is, prior to 1958, none beyond those that Fairey had already identified in his various research programmes. In fact, the later American yachts Vim in 1939 and to a lesser extent, Columbia in 1958, the first 12 Metre Class America s Cup winner designed by Olin Stephens, show remarkable similarity to the 3 rd Rule Flica. So, perhaps, with the addition of aluminium spars and lighter sailcloth, developments incorporated in Vim that Fairey had correctly identified in 1933, Flica might well have presented a challenge to Vim in the summer of 1939 and even Sceptre and Columbia in Is it possible that Flica could have influenced the course of America s Cup history again in 1958? It s an interesting question and the best answer I can give is that according Anthony Goodson, the one thing that his father, Hugh Goodson, always regretted was the day that he sold Flica.
