The Flying Fifteen Spanish Open was held on the waters off Real Club Nàutic Puerto Pollença on October 3 and 4, 2026. It was organised by Real Club Nàutic Puerto Pollença, by delegation of the RFEV and with the authorisation of the Balearic Sailing Federation.

The regatta acted as a warm up regatta for the fleet taking part in the Flying Fifteen European Championship in Palma de Mallorca from Wednesday 7th to Saturday 10th October.

The Belgian Championship at Lake Plate Taille (SNEH) was held a bit earlier this year due to a scheduling conflict with the European Championship in Palma.

However, in coordination with the French Flying Fifteen Association, we agreed to sandwich the European event between the Belgian regatta (the weekend before) and the French one (the weekend after), hoping to attract crews from UK to compete in all three.

The 2026 Irish National Championship took place at Carrickfergus Sailing Club on the north shore of Belfast Lough over the weekend of 4th-6th September.

My name is Rafael Benítez Lanza, and as President of Flying Fifteen Spain, I wanted to write to you personally, away from the official communications, to encourage as many of you as possible to come and join us for the upcoming Flying Fifteen European Championship in Mallorca.

We are putting a huge amount of enthusiasm into preparing the event and, above all, we want it to be a great gathering of the Flying Fifteen family, with a strong international fleet and a fantastic atmosphere both on and off the water.

We know that for many of you, one of the main considerations is the logistics of bringing your boats all the way to Mallorca, so I wanted to share some information that might make planning your trip a little easier.
