FLYING FIFTEEN

Notes: From the Flying Fifteen International Class site...\nThe Flying Fifteen has been modernized over the years with Uffa Fox agreeing to changes towards the end of his life to improve the design specification and sail plan.\nOriginal hull tolerances were +/- 25mm (one inch) either side of the median plan lines.\nIn 1984 Flying Fifteen International reduced the hull tolerances to +/- 15mm and introduced measurement templates. In 1993 a further reduction to +/- 7mm was instituted with additional adjustments to the median plan lines equal to the current design. \nOlder boats known as Classics, generally those with sail numbers below 2700, are grandfathered in and race legal.\nFleets exist in Australia, Hong Kong, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa as well as the British Isles.
