ABOUT

The Flying Fifteen Is a two person keelboat sailed and raced in many countries around the world on the sea, estuaries and inland waters. Club racing is the most important aspect of Flying Fifteen sailing. It is like a big dinghy with a keel so it is ideal for those who have sailed dinghies but are tired of or too old to cope with capsizes!

Unlike many modern sports boats you only require one other person to sail with you, crew combinations come in all sizes, genders and ages, it is just a matter of tweaking the boat to suit your combination. It is easy to launch by two people either off a ramp or using a hoist and it is also easy to tow behind a family car.

The legendary Uffa Fox designed the Flying Fifteen in England in 1947, and his vision of a high performance planing keelboat continues to flourish around the world, thanks to some judicious and intelligent class management.

By embracing and carefully controlling the use of modern materials, the Flying Fifteen has maintained it's exhilarating performance without becoming too expensive to build or maintain.
