The Tempest is a one-design two-person high performance keelboat with a
trapeze.
Designed over 40 years ago, this design represents well the genius
of its architect, Ian Proctor. In the words of many in the forefront of small
boat design and construction, it is the fastest one-design keelboat in the
world. To this day, the Tempest leaves every current “sport” boat in its wake,
its origin at that time was without a doubt, revolutionary.
The Tempest was
chosen as an International Class after the prototype had performed at a series
of selection trials in Holland in 1965. It completely dominated the racing and
was the overwhelming first choice. As a class it grew sufficiently to take its
place in the 1972 Olympic Games at Kiel, where twenty one nations were
represented.
It is totally one design - licensed builders construct the
boats from a master set of molds under the supervision of ISAF. It is not a
dinghy with a keel stuck on, a criticism often leveled at it, but a boat, as is
evidenced by the new Mark Two, in the mainstream of design aimed at producing
lighter, faster and more responsive craft.
