P&B RACE TEAM WINNING SAILS!

As the Championship season is currently in full swing it is an obvious to highlight the P&B results both here in the UK and across the ditch for this weeks P&B news.

Merlin Rocket
Day 3 of the Merlin Rocket National Championships at Whitstable Y.C brought bright glorious sunshine and a strong south westerly breeze, the conditions looked glamorous but the building breeze gave the fleet a hairy reach out to the starting area and many of the fleet took a refreshing dunk before the race had even begun! Our P&B Musto Race Team members in “Fancy Liquor” helmed by Tim Fells & crewed by Oli Wells navigated their way through the carnage to finish 5th giving them the overall lead in what looks like a high scoring series. Simon Potts and Luke Shaw are in 4th, both teams are using the latest P&B radial cut mains, standard Jibs and spinnakers. Good luck for the rest of the week.
