As of Tuesday 16th September, the Flying Fifteens' Championship of Ireland has attracted an entry of 25 boats from nine clubs, five northern and four southern. Sail numbers range from 3706 (National Yacht Club) to the newest boat in the fleet 4138 (Flying Fifteen Chonamara), the latter being close to the newest boat in the World. Dun Laoghaire's National Yacht Club boats the biggest entry, as befits the biggest fleet in the country with fourteen boats, while Strangford Sailing Club, (NI), Carrickfergus Sailing Club (NI), County Antrim Yacht Club (NI), Killyleagh (NI), Strangford Lough Yacht Club (NI) and Waterford Harbour Sailing Club (RoI) each have a solitary entry. In between these two extremes of participation, we find Royal St. George Yacht Club with three entries and Flying Fifteen Chonamara with two entries. We have seen lots of Keith, sailing successfully with Tom Galvin, but Ian's work keeps him away for large periods of time.
