Its definately better than that now, there are a few couples on the circuit now (even more this year I think) and there were a lot of girlies interested in the class at the dinghy show.  I have a female crew too (although that is somewhat dependent on finding enough money for her to go to the worlds in Sydney, so any tips on finding a sponsor would be very much appreciated). 

Proof that girlies do sail B14s - even with me (oh and yes it is my litle ego trip for today, taken on the sunday before the dinghy show, at south shields)

P.S. the walls sticker was there when I go the boat and I can't get it off

Hi Hurricane, no I didn't get out much! But I know one of the team
went to see the Hurricanes.

Phil is the class still pretty absent on the female front - when I was doing
it it wasn't unusual to be the only girl, and as we shared a circuit with the
49ers, we were a bit outnumbered, not that I'm saying that was a bad
thing!

Well if anyone wants a second hand B14 they better be quick, the class is going through something of a renaissence at the moment, and there are only a couple of second hand boats on the market now.  You should come along to an event Gael, there is usually someone looking for a crew.

Ah ha... I sort of place you now, Sorry I was probably not quite my chatty
self. I was having a look at the B14 thinking the racks looked a dran site
wider than I remember them being when I used to sail them and thinking
how good the boat still looks - they're a lot of fun and so cheap to pick
up secondhand, shame more people aren't switched into them. I think
that was my first amble anywhere having been on the stand most of the
day - I never did get a really good look round... but between us all we
went to see every single class at the show.

I kind of did, right at the end of saturday when you came for an amble round the Ovington stand, said Hi, but I was a bit tired & spaced out too, and didn't introduce myself, my fault.  Maybe next year if not before.
