Gul/Sailboats Race Team members have been out all winter developing new sail shapes and clothing innovations for the 2013/14 sailing season.
Success in many classes from Fireball through to Solo has indicated that we are all speeding in the right direction. For more details on sail design contacttony@sailboats.co.uk or on clothing contactmikep@gul.com |

I've tried it on Chrome and Silk and its poor on both.
Suggest they sack their web developer! Edited by craiggo - 27 Feb 13 at 11:36pm |

There's a saying in our modern world, it's 'Innovate or die' I'd say it's very appropriate to the dinghy business, unless classes like the Icon & Alto prosper, what hope is there?
Seriously, churning old classes, artificially trying to make silk out of sows ears, at the expense of the integrity of young talent, it's pathetic. The only way you get more than 11 people sailing something is for twenty odd dealers to order two each, one to demo, the other to sell, then each to sell another and another, that's the way things work. But not in this lark, which is why it will always be condemned to the margins.

well, sponsoring a newer class wouldn't really be at all viable to be fair to them.. the reason they support 'ancient has been fleets', is because they are established, and there are enough people racing them to make business with them viable. There'd be no point in putting out the costs of a team sailor for, say, the icon or alto class if there are only 11 people sailing them.

I've never quite followed the logic of a dealer favouring some customers over others with special deals. Why would you buy kit to win races from someone who favours your competitor with extra special deals on equipment and appears to enjoy semi professionalising what should be an amateur circuit.
That P&B outfit were crap dealing with the Alto, and they're just another dinosaur supporting ancient has been fleets to my mind. Then it takes all sorts. I wouldn't use them, nor that speed sails outfit after all this so, are they are connected with that Northampton Sailboats someone reccommended to me some time back? Or are P&B competitors?

clever bit of blogging from P&B... 'mentioning something, by saying you plan to NOT mention it' after applauding their team victory in the SJ series, and in follow up to the earlier blog post
 http://BLOG.PINBAX.COM I would like to conclude today by not mentioning certain topics that are alive on forums. My feeling, is that our results should speak for ourselves, but should not be the be all and end all. We, here at P&B work hard and sail hard because we enjoy, are interested in and love the sport (as do many others) and hopefully this shows through in our overall demeanour.

Discard hadn't been applied until this set of results, which skewed it somewhat. Can't believe we ended up tied with all the vagaries of the Sailjuice scoring!
