Congratulations to everyone who took part in this year's Lark National Championship at Fowey. After a challenging week of conditions, it was great to see some fantastic racing and a well-deserved finish to the event.

A special well done to Stuart & Nick Hydon for finishing 2nd overall sailing with P&B sails.

What a week at the Fireball World Championship. As sponsors, it was a pleasure to be part of such a fantastic event. Great racing, a brilliant atmosphere around the boat park, and sailors from all over the world enjoying everything the class has to offer.

Congratulations to Race Team members, DJ Edwards & Vyv Townend, on becoming World Champions again, 26 years on from their last title together, and to Dave Wade & Iain Blake for finishing 3rd overall. It was also great to see P&B sails being used by 7 of the top 10 boats.

A big thank you to everyone who chose to sail with P&B this week, and to the organisers who made it such a memorable championship. Safe travels home, and we'll see you on the water soon. ⛵

Three days of fantastic racing at the Fireball National Championship & Pre-Worlds at Royal Torbay Yacht Club, with everything from tactical racing to a lively final day as the breeze built to around 13-15mph. It certainly kept everyone on their toes.

A huge well done to everyone who took part, and especially to our P&B Race Team. It was great to see DJ Edwards & Vyv Townend finish 2nd overall, David Hall and Paul Constable taking 3rd, and Dave Wade & Iain Blake securing 5th, after a consistently strong championship.

It was also brilliant to see so many P&B sails performing at the top end of the fleet throughout the event. Seeing our sails helping sailors compete at the front, from club racers through to championship contenders, is what it's all about.

Best of luck to everyone heading into the Fireball World Championship.

That's another 505 Nationals in the books.

Hayling delivered a proper championship. Around 80 boats, plenty of shifts, plenty of passing lanes and two days where nothing came easy.

It was great to see so many P&B sails out there, with a lot of crews right at the front of the fleet. Huge congratulations to Howard Hamlin and Andy Zinn on taking the National Championship.

Well sailed to everyone who made the trip.

Round the Island is nearly here.

Cowes is starting to fill up, boats are arriving every day, and there's a good chance the weather will throw a bit of everything at us before the weekend's over.

If you're making the trip over and still need to sort your kit, we've got the Cowes store fully stocked.

Whether it's a fresh pair of boots, a new set of gloves, or finally replacing that waterproof that's seen one too many seasons, we've got you covered.

Pop in and see us before heading to the start line. Good luck to everyone racing, we'll see you on the Island.
