History of the Flying Fifteen

The International Flying Fifteen, designed by Uffa Fox over fifty years ago, is a two-person racing keelboat which has a lively performance and yet is safe and easy to handle. Over 3,700 of these beautiful boats have been built, with large fleets at clubs all over UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand and single-club fleets in Hong Kong, South Africa, Majorca, France and Philippines. Eighty boats competed at the 2003 World Championships in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland including two boats from Hong Kong.
