Winning Start to 2010 with P&B

Congratulations To Andy Smith and Tim Needham on their victory in a cold and windy Bloody Mary Race. Andy (Mirror World Champion 2009) and Tim bought their 505 (pre tuned by Ian Pinnell) from P&B in November. It look's like it is fast out of the box!

In third place at the Bloody Mary Richard Whitworth and his new Crew Olly Turner were trying out P&B's latest development Merlin Spinnaker. Although our spinnakers have always been fast a little extra always helps. (Call Tom Stewart on 01604 592808 for all the latest news on Merlin sails.)

2009 ended well for P&B with Tom Gillard and Sam Breary winning the medium Fleet at the Grafham Grand Prix. Tom will be campaigning the P&B works Nautivela 420 in 2010 helping to develop our 420 sails. We have a Nautivela 420 in stock Prices From £7595. Tom is a former Junior European 420 Champ so he already knows his way around the class. Call Tom Gillard for all the latest P&B 420 news.
