The 2014/15, B14 national titles will commence on the 27th of December, 2014 at the McCrae Yacht Club.
The world titles will follow from the 2nd to the 6th of January, 2015.
The B14 is an International Sailing Federation recognised class and offers racing at club, national and international level. A fast two-person boat, the B14 delivers exhilarating sailing, high quality international racing and spectacular viewing. The 14 foot long skiff can sail at over 20 knots using its powerful spinnakers with crew hiking from the wide wings.
The B14 class attracts sailors ranging from elite world and olympic level competitors, to club level racers.
The Australian B14 Association is seeking assistance in promoting and funding the event. Costs include the payment of an international jury. Approximately 35-40 boats, predominately interstate and international competitor’s with their support crews and families, will attend.
