The '''Redwing''' know more commonly as the '''Bembridge Redwing''' is a [[keelboat]] originally designed by [[Charles Ernest Nicholson]] in 1896 and first raced in 1897. In 1937 the class was redesigned by Nicholson to create the 1938 Redwing that can be seen racing both outside Bembridge Harbour and in [[Poole Harbour]] on the south of [[England]]. The class is a one design hull with a development rig where the rules specify a maximum sail area of 200 sq. ft. with only a few constraints.
