Seavolution B14 National Championships 2015 at Stokes Bay - Preview

by Mark Barnes 7 May 2015 20:17 BST 29-31 May 2015

The Seavolution B14 National Championships will be taking place Stokes Bay Sailing Club on the 29-31 May 2015.

After a closely contested TT on the water two weekends ago, followed by the return of the rest of the World Championship attendees and east coast teams, it looks like it is going to be a closely contested event.

The question will be, will the East Coast teams of the Anthill Mob (Tim Harrison/Johnny Ratcliffe), Blue Badge (Mike Bees/Ferret), Harken (Simon Hadley/Nikki Hadley), Seavolution/North (Mark Barnes/Ruth Oliver) and Whitstable Marine (Chris Lewns/Tom Pygall) get one over on the south coast teams in the there back yard. Team Ullman Sails (Mark Watts/Chris Bishop) will be leading the charge to make sure this does not happen.

Having had mixed conditions of late, it will be interesting to see who will have the bragging rights, come the end of the event. With the Europeans at Rock 05 – 08.09.2015, the Nationals should be a good marker for the big one later on.

If new to the class, come along and meet the teams. Bring your B14 and we will take you through the set up and how to get the best out of her.
