Flying Fifteen


Flying Fifteens are planing two person sportsboats that are evenly matched, providing close racing. Parkstone has the biggest active fleet of Flying Fifteens in the world, with 33 boats at the start of 2024.  We race every Saturday and Wednesday afternoon from Easter to Christmas, in winds up to 30 kts, with turnouts of over 20 boats and typically 25 boats in Poole Week. We have National, European and World Champions and even an Olympian in our ranks and about one third of the fleet is sailed by mixed teams, with three (very competitive) helmswomen amongst them.  The fleet has a strong camaraderie with help/ advice always available and an excellent social programme.  Post-race gossip is hoovered up in the bar to be included in (often irreverent) race reports. There are often openings for new crew and any members interested in a trial in a Flying Fifteen would be most welcome.

All Hallows Eve dawned crisp and clear, with the boat park possessed by a hoard of restless spirits rigging their craft

Wednesday 28th October

Having lost the last two races to the weather gods, the prospect of a good Force 4 (and no rain) brought eighteen Fifteens out on a fairly clement afternoon for the last Wednesday in October.
