PRO-SET® Epoxy, a leading provider of high-performance epoxy systems and Ovington Boats, renowned builders of world-class sailing dinghies, are proud to announce their joint sponsorship of the upcoming Flying Fifteen World Championships.

Designed by Uffa Fox in 1947, the Flying Fifteen is a classic racing keelboat that has achieved international recognition. Known for its elegant design, exciting performance and competitive racing, the Flying Fifteen has attracted a dedicated following worldwide and continues to be a popular choice for sailors.

The Flying Fifteen World Championships is a premier event in the sailing world, attracting top competitors from across the globe. This year's event promises to be a showcase of skill, competition and sportsmanship.

Chris Waples, FFI Commodore - "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 -"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 - "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."

This partnership between PRO-SET Epoxy and Ovington Boats celebrates a shared dedication to high performance and innovation in sailing.

The Flying Fifteen World Championships will be held in the UK for the first time at Weymouth and Portland Sailing Academy from 10 August - 21 August 2025.
