- Miss Nylex is a C-Class racing catamaran, designed and built in Australia in the 1970s specifically to compete in the International Catamaran Challenge Trophy (ICCT). It has a single wingsail with two aerodynamic flaps, instead of the conventional mast and sail combination. Miss Nylex won the ICCT in 1974 and was the first catamaran in the world to win the race using a wingsail. The wingsail design was revolutionary for its time and changed the course of C-Class catamaran racing. All winners of the ICCT from 1977 to 2007 were subsequently won using wingsail designs. Miss Nylex was designed by Roy Martin and built by Victorian boat-builder Len Dobson. When launched in 1972, it was the fastest catamaran in the world, breaking the speed record for an Australian yacht at 24 knots. (en)
