The 21st Flying Fifteen World Championships have been run and won by Steve Goacher and Tim Harper from Great Britain.  Nick and Janet Jerwood briefly held the trophy but it was snatched from their grasp after a protest from the British pair was upheld.

The series was held in generally light and very shifty conditions (the words “mysterious” and “treacherous” can also be used) which made for some difficult days on the water for a lot of the fleet. However the top 2 boats in particular showed their class to find ways to keep their scores low over the entire regatta.
