by Rod Boswijk/Mark Barnes on 22 Jul 2009
Neil Pryde to sponsor B14 European Championship B14
The B14 European Class Association is pleased to announce that Neil Pryde Sailing are to be our title sponsors for the B14 European Championships to be held at Yacht Club de Carnac from 28th to 31st August.

With The class now re-establishing fleets in Europe, and Neil Pryde having launched their new dinghy wear range in May 2009, that is focused towards the top end of the dinghy market, see the B14 as an excellent opportunity to bring two brands together and maintain Neil Pryde’s high profile in Europe.

It is anticipated that 35 plus British and Australian teams will be competing with the enthusiastic French fleet to experience the great conditions in the Bay of Quiberon. With the Worlds at the same venue in 2010, it will be a close and hard fought event.

The B14 delivers exhilarating sailing, is the fastest two person ‘body-swung’ sailing boat in the world. Hiking from the wide wings, blasting along at 20 knots with over 50 sq.m. of downwind sail area is unique amongst sailing classes.

Reports will be posted daily during the event.
