Flying Fifteen : Dinghy Or KeelBoat.............. Bit of "debate" going on North of the border about a Flying Fifteen which sailed with the Keel Boats during the Largs Cumbraes Regatta. Mainly from winging yotters who were beaten by it. What say you.......... |

I was sailing up there and must admit I was surprised to see them with the keel boats on the results sheet as id always counted them as dinghys.... but thinking about it now im more surprised that it doesnt happen more often

It has a keel, therefore it is a keelboat. Dinghies don't have keels.

You mean apart from calling it "perhaps the ugliest boat ever designed"? Presumably it doesn't use a centreboard and keel at the same time. Therefore I'd call it whatever was appropriate to the configuration it was sailing in.

We used to race the FF with the cruisers at our club and they Cleaned up, they are not dinghies, because they have a fized lead lump under

I thought the whole idea of a FF was that you could call it whatever you wanted, sail it with the dinghies or the cruisers. This is what they did when I sailed at Helensburgh.

Hi everyone, The Flying Fifteen has always been listed as a Keelboat in the RYA (PY) scheme. This is obviously because it can not be listed under the scheme's other categories of Centreboard, Cruisers or Multihull. Funnily enough, the Y & Y classes section does not have a Keelboat section and there are some differences as to how boats have been classified e.g. the Flying Fifteen, SB 3 and the Squib are in the Dinghies section but the RS Elite and RS K6 are in the Yachts section. It is obviously all done on purpose just to confuse us all. In my experience, Flying Fifteens have always been allowed in large handicap dinghy events such as the Bloody Mary but I think that I am right in saying that they also appear as a 'fleet' at Cowes Week and other similar 'yachting' events.

IMHO anything with a lump of lead attached to the bottom of the boat or plate is a yacht/keelboat
