JET 14 



The Jet 14 was designed by Howard Siddons ( Island Heights, N.J. ) soon 

 after World War H. The hull design is similar to that of the International 

 14 but the rig is like that of a Snipe, with a much smaller sail area than the 

 International. The Jet 14 started as a sloop, but a catboat rig has recently 

 been approved in order to make the boat eligible for single-handed racing. 

 The purpose was to get a low-cost boat which would plane. The popularity 

 of boat and price are attested by the fact that there are now about seven 

 hundred boats and thirty-three chartered fleets in the United States with an 

 active Jet 14 Class Association, organized in 1955. Mrs. William Olsen is 

 Secretary (66 Alexander Drive, Red Bank, N.J. ). Jet Blasts is the oflB- 

 cial publication. 



Fleets are located in the Middle West, Southwest, and on the East Coast,
