THRILLING FLYING FIFTEEN WORLDS WILL BE NYC HIGHLIGHT OF 2019
Containers are starting to arrive this week from Hong Kong and Australia with the first participating boats for the 2019 Flying Fifteen World Championships which we will host from September 1- 13th.
It is a great honour of the National Yacht Club to host this Worldâs and is only possible thanks to the generous support and sponsorship of Subaru Cars and others.
The Club hosted the Worldâs in 1992 and 2003 both of which boosted interest in the class and the Nationalâs preeminent position as having one of the biggest and best F15 fleets in the world.
In 2003 Subaru Cars also sponsored the event so next Monthâs Worldâs is the continuation of a long and successful association.
