Allen Brothers at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show

by Liz Adams, Allen Brothers 1 Mar 2013 13:10 GMT 1 March 2013

With the impending RYA Dinghy Show this weekend, Allen Brothers will be exhibiting on stand C80 in the Main Hall and will have the technical team on hand to provide information and answer any questions you may have.

Luke Patience, 2012 Olympic silver medallist and Allen sponsored sailor, will be making a guest appearance on Sunday morning.

This year we will be giving away an A3 Racing Rules poster for treasure hunters and all those who visit our stand. The poster will become an essential reference point for all racing enthusiasts and good sailing clubs and will help solve all those after race rules disputes.

The poster can also be seen at: www.allenbrothers.co.uk/download.asp

On the stand we will be showcasing an Albacore and a Phantom both built by Ovingtons with wooden decks by JJ Boats, and a Winder Fireball, all fully fitted out with Allen hardware as well as several brand new products.

All of the products produced by Allen are designed and manufactured in the UK at our specialist manufacturing facility in Essex. New products to look out for are...

A2030SHK & A2020SHK: new to the dynamic block range, these blocks have a special high load swivel hook for applications such as Cunningham control.

A2030HL & A2020HL: high load dynamic blocks with stainless steel sheaves designed especially for use with modern high-tech ropes.

A5105L & A5105S Stainless steel reaching hooks – long and short: Specifically designed for the 420 these replace the clevis pin in the lower chain plate to tension the spinnaker guy line.

A4302 High load Jib Upper and A4905 Lower Furler: Designed with large dinghies and small keelboats in mind the all new furling system has been designed to provide a super smooth action even under high load by utilising a multi level Torlon bearing system. With metal parts turned from a solid block of aluminium this system will also provide an unrivalled finish and reliability on the water.

A5535 800-1300mm & A5530 1100–1800mm:
Twist and lock extendable carbon tiller extensions combining a proven carbon/Kevlar composite, the two materials are directly interwoven in a twill pattern to create the ultimate tube that is both strong, lightweight and will hold together if the worst happens (main tube OD 26mm, Inner tube 19mm).

Look out for the Allen sponsored inflatable racing marks – for a chance to win a set of these all you need to do is bring 20 people from your club to the show – picking your club from the drop down list when you purchase your tickets.

The Allen team look forward to seeing you on the stand for a chat about the sport we love most!!
