Hyde gears up for Cowes
by Hyde Sails 26 Jul 2010 22:13 BST
31 July - 7 August 2010
With a host of Hyde-powered boats competing across a range of classes and a full service facility on hand for those emergency repairs.
You will see a range of competitors sporting Hyde sails across the various fleets during the week. As well as popular one-design fleets such as the Laser SB3s, for which Hyde make the sails, last year’s winners of the XOD class, Stuart Jardine and his crew, will be attempting to defend their title clad in Hyde sails. Neilson’s J/92 ‘Redeye’ and the Figaro ‘Black Diamond’ will be fully decked out in Hyde sails, as will a host of Beneteau 40.7s. From the smallest classes to some of the biggest, the ‘H’ logo will be out winning races.
Meanwhile, the Hyde team will also be out on the water during the week, as well as working some late nights to service any sails that need work. Hyde’s Cowes loft is headed by Rob Larke, who has some 20 years of sailmaking experience behind him, and during Cowes Week they will once again offer their popular repairs service. Situated in a prime location in Cowes Yacht Haven, it’s an ideal place to drop your sails on the way to the bar!
