Summer 2015 and especially August has been a golden time for Team Allen, with win following win and titles tumbling.
Tom Gillard racked up his 30th major championship title when he and Richard Anderton took their Allen equipped Fireball to victory in the 2015 World, National and Inland Championships. In fact Allen equipped boats won Gold, Silver and Bronze in the World Championships with Chris Birrell and Sam Brearey also winning World Championship Bronze and National Championship Silver.
In the International Moth class, Chris Rashley won the National Championship with 11 wins from 12 starts and took 2nd in Europeans.
In the Olympic classes, Dylan Fletcher / Alain Sign outpointed their Allen and RYA British Sailing Team mates Stu Bithell / John Pink to be selected for the Olympic 49er test event in Rio, where they took Bronze.
Also in a 49er and back into high level competition after finishing his degree, Chris Taylor took Bronze in ISAF Junior Worlds U24 class.
Meanwhile and last only in this roundup, Jake Cookson piloted his Class 3 land yacht around Hoylake beach at speeds approaching 60mph to win British Championship Series.
So on land, or on the water, Allen equipped craft take on the opposition and come out on top. These are the very same parts and fittings you can go out and buy in your local chandlers. Team Allen sailors provide feedback we build into our research and development, making Allen performance sailing hardware better, stronger and lighter. All of which means the ultimate winner is you.
