Congratulations to James Fawcett & Bruce Grant on winning the 2003 International 14 European Championship. Held at Hayling Island Sailing Club they were sailing their new Bieker 4 from Ovington Boats and Specialized Marine. Geoff Carveth & Adrian Murphy also in their new boat came in 3rd. Other race winners in Bieker 4s included Specialized Marines Chris Turner & Peter Bagwell.
The championship at Hayling was for many of the new owners the first time racing their new boats and the first real test the Bieker 4 from Ovington Boats and Specialized Marine had up against a strong international fleet. A perfect weeks racing at Hayling was how is it was described - a week of sunshine and sea breezes. The large competitive 14 fleet looks set to continue its success as they prepare for the worlds in Japan.
