The Flying Cruiser S, manufactured by the German shipyard BWC (Bodo W. Clausen), is a quintessential trailersailer designed to bridge the gap between a responsive racing dinghy and a manageable weekend cruiser. With a length overall of approximately 5.12 meters (16.8 feet), the vessel was engineered for inland lakes and coastal waters, emphasizing ease of transport and quick rigging. According to the current manufacturer, BWC Illmensee, the model remains a staple of their production line, valued for its robust GRP construction and versatile underwater profile. The "S" designation typically refers to the Schwert (centerboard) version, though the hull has been adapted into several distinct configurations over its decadeslong production run, making it one of the most successful small cruisers in Central Europe.
