The RCYC at Burnham on Crouch hosted their Flying Fifteen Open on the 13th/14th of June sponsored by Waples Wines. It's a unique event in many ways as everyone is greeted with a mug of coffee/tea and a bacon roll 

Entry is now open and final preparations underway for the 2026 Flying Fifteen National Championship which takes place from 9th - 12th July

This year's bulwark trophy was part of a double handed regatta run by Hayling island sailing club that also included the 5o5 class, the Fireballs, and Merlin rockets.

As this event was not paired with the Southern Championships the attendance of visitors was low with only 4 boats from other clubs.

The weather forecast for the event was challenging and in the end the sailing on the Saturday the 6th of June was cancelled due to the force 7 gusting nine winds sweeping the country.

The International Flying Fifteen Class returned to Royal Torbay Yacht Club on the weekend of 16th-17th May for their Southern Area Championship, our first visit to this long-established club since 2008

Surrounded by the stunning Pennine hills boats gathered for the annual Dovestone Flying Fifteen open meeting.
