This year at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show (5-6 March), Allen Brothers will be launching an exciting new range of products and services for all dinghy sailors across, from club level to Olympic hopefuls.

Having launched its premium A2030XHL (Extreme High Load) block to the international marine trade at METS last November, the company will be introducing the new flagship product to the racing public at the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show.

Liz Adams, Allen Brother's Managing Director explained: "Priced at just under £100 retail, the new block is certainly not cheap, but the best never is. This top of the range block has been developed with input from Team Allen sailors including Chris Rashley, International Moth sailor, testing the blocks with extremely high loads. Not everyone needs a block of this strength, performance and quality, but, when you need the best, nothing else will do."

Allen Brothers is also using the show to launch its new Allen Dry Lube. A specially formulated hydrophobic dry PTFE spray lubricant, Allen Dry Lube is designed to keep rigging, blocks and fittings running smoothly for superior long lasting performance.

The Allen stand, C82, will feature Dylan Fletcher's International Moth and Tom Gillard's championship winning Fireball, amongst others.

Signifying expansion into on-line training services and working in conjunction with the leading race timing and tracking provider, SailRacer, ProFiles offers competition sailors the chance to analyse hundreds of races and hone their tactical skills for free. Using race tracking data from GPS transponders mounted on boats from dozens of classes and venues, racers can identify performance enhancing tips and racing skills. To access the new site, go to www.allensailracerprofiles.com and register for free.

Packed into a busy schedule, the Allen stand will also feature Personal Appearances from Team Allen sailors:

  • Chris Rashley: Saturday 6pm
  • Dylan Fletcher /Alain Sign Saturday 3pm
  • Tom Gillard (TBA)
  • Chris Birell / Sam Brearey (TBA)

As Allen Brothers enters its sixtieth year, the new Allen products and services complement the tried and trusted Allen range of performance sailing hardware to help sailors around the world get the best from their sport and leisure time.
