The B14 class association is pleased to announce that Gul Watersports Ltd are to take title sponsor for the B14 TT series, Nationals and Inland Championships through 2016. Bringing one of the marine industry's premium brands on board in GUL to compliment the dynamic B14, the class will be working to promote the two brands within the sailing world through 2016
To also spice it up, every time a B14 attends one of the B14 GUL Watersports Ltd sponsored events, they will receive one entry into the end of season draw for two nights DBB at the Watergate Bay Hotel in Cornwall, including a surf and or SUP lesson.
New B14 GBR 795 (Mark Barnes (Seavolution Ltd (www.seavolution.co.uk))/Charlotte Jones) will be carrying GUL's branding along with North Sails to be known as Team GUL/North, will be on display at the Dinghy Show on stand A12 in the Great Hall.
Comment from Mark Barnes "This is a great opportunity for the B14 class where we have tied up with a premium brand in GUL. During 2016 there will be regular updates on various websites promoting both the class and GUL. With the Worlds and Europeans at Torbole in Garda in late June, there is and has been lots of interest in attending the events. In bringing GUL on board, this ramps up the domestic scene to compliment the expectations of Garda. The future is bright and 2016 looks to be an exciting year."
Comment from Mike Pickering of Gul Watersports Ltd: "What an exciting year for Gul, this tie up with the B14 fleet gives us an increase in exposure to the skiff classes. Working with Mark and Charlotte will enable us to build on our knowledge and develop some interesting new products for Skiff sailors."
