We're excited to be exhibiting at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show 2026, taking place on 21-22 February 2026 at the Farnborough International Exhibition & Conference Centre. You'll find us on Stand L30, sandwiched right between some of our biggest customers - Hartley Boats, Topper, and Pinnell & Bax.

 Visitors can also take advantage of a 10% discount on show tickets using the code RYAEX26001.

This year's show will see the launch of our all-new 15mm Dynamic Blocks, which will be on display for the first time. These blocks have been designed to be super low profile, making them ideal for small-diameter lines up to 3.5mm, particularly elastic take-up systems. With a maximum working load of 160kg, they are not intended for high-load applications but excel where compact size and minimal weight are key.

Currently, two versions are available, with further designs anticipated over the next 12 months, including a 15mm sheave cassette.

  • A2015WEB: designed for attachment via a 10mm webbing strap.
  • A2015Tiifeaturing a hole to tie or splice the block directly onto the rope.
 

When compared side by side with our classic 20mm Dynamic Block, the size difference is remarkable. Come and see for yourself at the show.

Also on display will be Tom Gillard's brand-new Fireball, built by Winder Boats. This is one of the very first all-carbon hull Fireballs and features a high-performance Allen fit-out, including top-spec blocks throughout and an adjustable mast raking system.

Alongside this, we'll be showcasing Peter Wolstenholme's Mas Marine Snipe. Although the boat is almost two years old, it is still running its complete original Allen fit-out, demonstrating just how well our hardware stands up to multiple seasons of intense racing.

We're also pleased to say that Tom "Mozzy" Morris will be spending time on the Allen stand during the show, giving visitors the chance to meet the well-known sailing YouTuber in person.

We look forward to welcoming sailors, builders, and the wider sailing community to Stand L30 and sharing what's new from Allen Brothers at the RYA Dinghy & Watersports Show 2026.
