After 4 years absence, the Seavolution B14 Winter Pursuit Series is back by popular demand.

We have selected 4 events over the winter that best suits the B14 skiff style of sailing, and areas where the class has coverage. Of the 4 events, teams will need to do at least 3 events to qualify.

If interested in attending the B14 Euros and Worlds at Torbole, Garda, home of the lake’s skiff sailing, in late June 2016, come and chat to the teams at the events.

The 4 events are:

  • Datchet Flyer: 12 – 13.11.2015 (also GJW Series)
  • Grafham Grand Prix: 28.12.2015 (also GJW Series)
  • Starcross Steamer: 17.01.2016
  • Tiger Trophy: 06 – 07.02.2016 (also GJW Series)

For the GJW events, people need to enter early to make sure that they get their entry slot.

Attendances are looking good as teams start the build up to the Worlds, and looking to getting the Ashes back off the Aussie team. First however, they will need to get past the other 4 -6 nations attending.

So if looking for some high octane winter sailing within a competitive friendly fleet, come and join us at the events.
