Parkstone Yacht Club are delighted to open entries for the Salcombe Gin Flying Fifteen Southern Area Championships 2024. The event will be held on the weekend of 8th & 9th June 2024.

Two days of great racing in Poole Bay are planned with a supper on Saturday and afternoon tea on Sunday.

This is the first World Qualification event for the 2025 World Championships, being held in Weymouth in August 2025, so we anticipate this to be a highly competitive event.

Adam Bowers will be running a coaching day on Friday 7th June 2024 for those wishing an opportunity to tune their boats. Places are limited and can be booked at the same time as entering.
