#FLYING FIFTEEN – At Monday's Irish Flying Fifteen Fleet AGM at East Antrim Boat Club 2012's sailing fixtures were agreed with five regional events planned. The cost of new boats now running to €20k was seen as a deterrent to new members but as a means of promoting the class a suggestion was made to hold an open evening at events to try to encourage new blood using four or five boats.
