With just a few days to go, the entry list is looking very strong for the Flying Fifteen Inland Championship at Chew Valley Lake SC on October 9th and 10th. There are entries already from Draycote, Hayling Island, Datchet, Blithfield, Burton, Llangorse, Howth, and Grafham, among others.

The class looks very strong as we emerge from pandemic restrictions, with some new owners, some guest appearances in the fleet for this event, and the Inlands will see several new boats that have been launched over the last year (even in the last month).

Online entry is still open, and entries will also be accepted on the day. If you're still undecided, we'd love to see you here for the last big event of the season, to catch up with old friends, see the latest innovations on new Fifteens, and enjoy some competitive racing.

There is camper van parking on site for those who need it, and all competitors will be treated to breakfast on arrival and a Saturday evening meal.

Anyone interested in the training day with multiple World Champion Chris Turner on Friday October 8th should contact the class via .
