The most famous Flying Fifteen is ‘Coweslip’ (K192), was a present from Uffa Fox to Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip on the occasion of their marriage in 1949. Uffa and Prince Philip were often to be found sailing Coweslip throughout the 1950s & ’60s, usually in front of the paparazzi of the day and frequently with significant racing success… fun times.
The Prince subsequently became life Patron of the Flying Fifteen class association, and indeed Coweslip can still be seen today on display in Edinburgh with the Royal Yacht Britannia. – Afloat.ie Team
