Leg four of the B14 Winter Pursuit Series at Hoo this weekend (11th March), sponsored by Allen Brothers, will see the B14 Flying Circus take part in the Hoo Freezer on the Medway. Allen Brothers one of the key suppliers to the fleet, has kindly sponsored this leg.

Following on from the punishing conditions at the Starcross Steamer, testing climate at the Tiger Trophy and restricted waters but great conditions of Draycote, it may well be time for the B14s to finally stretch their legs this weekend and show their full potential. The forecast is for sun and veering wind throughout the day. Hopefully with the conditions promised it will generate a good turnout across all fleets.

Anyone interested in the B14, please come and have a chat over the weekend. The new specification Seavolution B14 will be represented by GBR 788 – Seavolution.

There is still all to play for with some very good prizes on offer. Qualification is best 3 results out of 4.
