Pro-Set Epoxy and Ovington Boats will sponsor Flying Fifteen racing

 Pro-Set Epoxy and Ovington Boats will jointly sponsor the Flying Fifteen World Championships. Designed by Uffa Fox in 1947, the Flying Fifteen is a classic racing keelboat that has achieved international recognition. It has attracted a dedicated following worldwide and continues to be a popular choice for sailors.

The Flying Fifteen World Championships, which will be held in the UK for the first time at Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy from 10 August – 21 August 2025, is a premier event in the sailing world, attracting top competitors from across the globe.

Chris Waples, FFI Commodore, comments “Flying Fifteen International is delighted to have PRO-SET Epoxy in partnership with Ovington Boats as lead sponsors for the 24th World Championship in August 2025, racing in Weymouth Bay. We are incredibly grateful to have PRO-SET Epoxy and Ovington Boats whose support is invaluable to the success of this prestigious event”.

Sam Oliver, Wessex Resins & Adhesives, says “Pro-Set Epoxy is committed to supporting excellence in sailing. Our high-performance epoxy systems are trusted by boat builders and sailors for their strength, reliability and ability to deliver a competitive edge. We are thrilled to partner with Ovington Boats and support the Flying Fifteen World Championships.”

Nathan Batchelor, Ovington Boats, adds “We are delighted to be sponsoring this event in conjunction with PRO-SET Epoxy. Ovington Boats have a long history with the Flying Fifteen class going back to 1989. It is a bit of a company foundation with almost 500 boats built over 35 years. Our Flying Fifteen build has evolved with the company; the early boats were wooden decked and now the boats are built using carbon with PRO-SET epoxy.”

The partnership between Pro-Set Epoxy and Ovington Boats celebrates a shared dedication to high performance and innovation in sailing.
