Hyde Sails continued work to produce the best sails in the Flying 15 class has moved into another gear this week. Richie Lovering our sail designer and keen FF sailor too delivery of a new boat.
The boat is an Ovington Mk10 with Carbon Foam Sandwich and replaces Richie and Matt Alverado's previous Flying Fifteen 'Ffitz' which has been sold.
After winning the Flying 15 Nationals at the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club, the pair went on to get a 7th at the Worlds. It was agreed that a slightly better boat was needed to do justice to our latest sail design.
Richie will be campaigning the boat in 2016 to defend the nationals title at his home club, Haying Island Sailing Club, as well as the Europeans in Holland.
