The year ahead for B14s promises to continue to be very exciting. From 28th to 31st December 2009, the B14 Class Association of NSW hosts the National Titles at the 16ft Sailing Club at Belmont, an excellent venue on Lake Macquarie.

In preparation for this some B14s will be heading North in November to participate in the Bethwaite series on Lake Macquarie.

The European Titles (Pre-event) and World titles will take place at Carnac, France from the 8th July to 16th in 2010.

It is expected that the small French fleet will be sure to grow. Of course, we are putting together a strong Aussie contingent to send over there. Plans are already being made about transport to La Belle France.
