The 145 is a 14 ft 8 in (4.47 m) two person intermediate sailing dinghy complete with main, jib, spinnaker and trapeze.[2] The class is a lengthened version of the 125 class of sailing dingy. The 145 class had a following within Australia,[3] although not as strong as its smaller cousin. Eventually, the class fell out of popularity and the class associations disbanded in the early to mid 2000s.[4] Some examples are still raced around Australia.[5]
