The UK Flying Fifteen Association has announced the dates of their Southern Traveller Series events for 2023 which are open to all types of Flying Fifteen: Classic, Silver and Gold fleet boats. These events are especially welcoming to club-level sailors and those not wishing to travel too far, and perhaps offer a less intimidating experience than competing at the big national Flying Fifteen events.
The series consists of a real mix of venues and sailing experiences: tidal river estuaries - Aldeburgh & Burnham-on-Crouch, large reservoirs - Chew Valley & Datchet, a mid-sized lake - Middle Nene, and a couple of puddles - South Cerney & Broxbourne.
All are welcoming family-orientated clubs which take very good care of visitors!
Datchet Sailing Club - 15th - 16th April 2023
Aldeburgh YC - 3rd - 4th June 2023
Middle Nene SC - 10th - 11th June 2023
Burnham on Crouch (RCYC) - 17th- 18th June 2023
Chew Valley Lake SC - 2nd - 3rd September 2023
South Cerney SC - 9th -10th September 2023
Broxbourne SC - 7th - 8th October 2023
Prizes are awarded at each event and the Flying Fifteen fleet handicapping system will be in operation meaning that all boats compete on a level playing field. In addition, competitors taking part in at least two events will qualify for the overall Southern Traveller series results, where separate Gold, Silver & Classic fleet prizes will also be awarded.
Please visit the UK Flying Fifteen website - www.flying15.org.uk - for more information about the series, or if you are short of a crew or need help with accommodation.
