B14s at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show

by Mark Barnes 29 Feb 2012 10:30 GMT Stand C58, 3-4 March 2012

The B14 Class Association is exhibiting in the main hall on stand C58 near to Yachts and Yachting. On the stand will be GBR 788 – Seavolution, one of the new batch of B14s built by Synthesize/Seavolution with the latest design North sails on display. The boat has been tested on the Winter Pursuit circuit with some success.

Mark Barnes of Seavolution and key members of the Class Association will be at the show to answer any questions regarding the new and secondhand B14s.

With the 2012 Nationals in Beer in late-May, and Europeans at the Centre Nautique de Plerin in Brittany, France in late July, 2012 is looking to be a bumper year for the class.

So come and say hello and enjoy some time with like minded people.
