Joy does Uffa Fox scant credit with her remark that he taught Prince Charles to sail. He was one of the most influential yacht and dinghy designers of the 20th century, designing the Flying Fifteen, International 14, National 12, Albacore, Firefly and others. He was the first sailor to exploit the planing effect on boats` hulls and was influential in developing trapezing.
Sorry I can`t put in the link, but there`s a good short resume of his career on Wikipaedia.
