In The Thick Of It!
Right in the middle of championship season and P&B have got all hands on deck in the workshop, mail order and sail loft repairing masts and boats, getting orders sent out and making championship winning sails. Following probably the busiest week of the year P&B dispatched a whopping 52 sails on Friday afternoon for the 505 Worlds, Scorpion Nationals and the Merlin Rocket Nationals.
As for the champs themselves the Merlin Rocket's, Scorpion's and GP14's have all been hit by the weather which has not only resulted in an interrupted schedule but in the case of the GP14's a national news
report. With strong winds and big waves (which can be seen in the
Merlin Rocket report on Y&Y) the competitors, their kit and their boats are getting a real test. For these challenging conditions P&B have made a list of championship spares which are must have if you haven't already got them...
- Gloves
- Burgee
- Shackles
- Cleats
- Tiller Extensions
- Pole Ends
- Halyards
If you,re half way through a champs, heading to a champs or between champs P&B expert staff are on hand to help get you ready whether its a repair, product or just advice. Call us on
