Flat Stanley is still languishing in juvenile detention in Perth Western Australia after the many crimes against Flying Fifteen yachtsmen and women at Medemblik and subsequently in Perth, in 2016.

He has, however, been able to get word to his many international relatives, and it seems Flat Stanley’s Irish cousin, Stanley O’Flattery, has made his way to Dun Laoghaire, to wreak havoc on the 2019 Flying Fifteeners sailing in the World Championships.

Stanley was glimpsed hiding in ropes near the launching ramp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He then but managed to escape into a canoe, before teasing everyone by climbing the flagpole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Such is Stanley’s personality, he was basking in his cleverness at escaping the Aussies that he didn’t notice Bev and Leonie closing in on him and manhandling him into a carry bag where has been held captive overnight.

Now Stanley O’ Flattery’s fate has been sealed. A fortnight of shopping, coffees, lunches, sightseeing and gossip with the ladies of the ground crew. Oh, Stanley, you didn’t see that coming!
