Trapeze is issued four times a year as a member service of IFDCAUS. It is edited and published by Association members. Racing regatta results and reports and other class news are at the heart of Trapeze content. Other features include technical articles, sailing advice, book reviews and historical studies. Association officers and members also contribute stories, opinion and comment. In general these materials are specific to the Flying Dutchman sailboat, but some general sailing interest features are included as well. Anyone may subscribe to Trapeze by joining IFDCAUS. The mission of Trapeze is primarily to keep IFDCAUS members informed of class activities and developments, but also, in conjunction with this web site, to present the FD to the sailing community at large.
