Are you curious about what it is like to sail in a Flying Fifteen? Or know someone who is?
This is your chance to have a short sail in a Flying Fifteen and find out for yourself.
Come down to the Centreboard clubhouse at South of Perth Yacht Club on Sunday 24th November from 10.30 am and one of our fleet will take you out on their boat for a spin. Wear shorts, a rash top or similar and trainers. Buoyancy vests will be provided.
The Flying Fifteen is an easy boat to sail and is forgiving for new sailors. The weight of the keel means that the boat will never capsize - unlike dinghy sailing. So if you have never sailed, but are interested in learning how to get started, come down and have a go.
The Flying Fifteen is also sufficiently challenging to sail fast to keep experienced sailors interested. So if the kids have grown up and you are looking to get back into sailing or are simply looking for a new sailing challenge, come down and experience for yourself the reason why so many of our fleet have chosen the Flying Fifteen after sailing in other classes of boat.
But it’s not all about sailing! The Flying Fifteen fleet prides itself on its spirit of community and camaraderie. We will be putting on a sausage sizzle during the event, so feel free to bring the family and experience this for yourself.
Still keen? Come down and meet our fleet volunteers on Sunday 24th November from 10.30 am. Or contact Andrew (the South of Perth Yacht Club fleet rep) for a chat on 0408 932 516 or sopycf15@gmail.com.
