Parkstone YC has the biggest active Flying Fifteen fleet in the UK (and the world), with 33 boats at the start of 2024. We can sail across the entire Poole Harbour racing area in all but the very lowest tides and it’s only a short sail out to the Bay.

About one third of the fleet is sailed by mixed teams, with three (very competitive) helmswomen.

The fleet has a strong camaraderie with help and advice always available, and an excellent social programme.

Flying Fifteens race every Saturday and Wednesday afternoon from Easter to Christmas with turnouts of over 20 boats. Courses are mostly set in the harbour with races typically lasting 1½ to 2½ hours, and with the prevailing wind bringing the possibility of 2+ mile screaming three-sail reaches. We also enjoy racing in Poole Bay, where Flying Fifteen Regional and National Championships are often held, and where the boats are able to show off how great they are for sea sailing.
