12' Rondar Firefly

Firefly #23 is one of fleet decommissioned by the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Sailing Team in 2021. While the first 20 Fireflies in the fleet were bought in 2011, #21-24 were purchased a few years later. The sails were 3 years old when the fleet was decommissioned. #23 has only been sailed once since purchased from MIT. It has been kept wrapped and stored indoors over winters. It is in excellent condition and comes with a fully rebuilt and customized trailer, with spare tire, & 2 MIT PFDs and other accessories.
The Firefly fleet was extremely versatile for competitions in both fleet racing and team racing because of the boats close tacking angles, planing hull design, ease of acceleration and responsiveness in both breeze and light conditions. Unlike other collegiate dinghies, the Firefly is not nearly as weight sensitive because of its very round hull characteristics. Heavier teams are not at a disadvantage in very light conditions compared to FJs and 420s. Light sailors can sail with finesse and remain very competitive in the strongest wind conditions imaginable as its tapered masts afford easy flattening of the mainsail with gnav tension.

Fireflies may be soloed with just mainsail, or sailed sloop-rigged with main and jib.
