Ian Flies In A 15!
P&B / Zhik Race Team and current Europa Cup 505 Champion Ian Pinnell, with crew Mark Darling took to the water for the Flying 15 Bulwark Trophy at Hayling Island YC over the weekend. Powered by P&B sails the duo were too strong for the rest of the Flying 15 fleet finishing 1st in both races and clinching 1st overall. Also having a good weekend of racing was Ian Cadwallader who finished in second place overall, also using P&B F15 Sails. read more...


P&B's Flying 15 Mainsail now has a fuller design giving you the edge on the water. After a winter of developing these new designs the P&B F15 Sails are proving to be successful with 2 victories in as many weeks. Greg Wells won the F15 Open Meeting at Grafham SC  last week and this was followed up with Ian Pinnell securing the Bulwark Trophy this week. These results adding to the success of the the current Flying 15 World Champions Graham Vials and Chris Turner who also used P&B F15 Sails on their way to victory last year. read more...


With the new batch of Flying 15 carbon hulls now available and with the sail numbers now over the 4000 mark why not sail like a winner with a NEW F15 Boat from P&B and a new set of P&B F15 sails.
