Log of the construction of a Flying Fifteen keelboat in Hilo, Hawaii
Wednesday, June 21, 2017
We are moving to California and so the boat is coming along where it will sail in Santa Barbara. So before that I decided to mount the spinnaker chute. A tape of fiberglass coupled the edges at the exit and struts supports its length back to the cockpit. About this same time I discovered an old movie of flying fifteens being built...now that really could have come in handy. I think I am overbuilt a bit! This is what the Kircubbin club was up to.

Hi! i am in oakland, not too far from santa barbara, and am working on restoring a classic flying fifteen. She has a fiberglass hull and plywood deck, and needs a lot of work. I thought i would drop a note to say hi. I think you can reach me through my google account shown here. I love the work you've done on your flying fifteen. Thanks for all the documentation, its a real inspiration. -j
Hi Jason, I could not find my way through Google so I will message here. Great to hear, I would like to see the work some time when I get up to San jose. We just moved to Santa Barbara from Hilo with the boat...an ordeal! I noticed in the flying fifteen register list that there were many boats in the Bay Area back in the 70s and 80s. Yours is the first I heard on the west coast. Someone in the US (Florida) sailed in the UK a year or so back. And there is a regatta in Victoria. What number is your boat? Here is my email wymanrt@yahoo.com. Stay in touch and let me know how it goes. Regards, Robert Wyman
