B14 Class to exhibit at RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show 2026, Celebrating 40 Years!
The B14 Class Association will be exhibiting at the RYA Dinghy and Watersports Show 2026 on Stand L38 at Farnborough International on 21–22 February 2026, as part of the class’s 40th anniversary programme.
The 2026 season marks four decades since the introduction of the B14, a two-person performance dinghy that has established an enduring international following. The anniversary year will be highlighted at the show, where visitors will be able to meet class representatives and learn more about upcoming events and developments, including the introduction of carbon fiber booms coming later in 2026.
On display at the stand will be the 2025 World Championship–winning boat, 774 “Squirrel”, now carrying Pathfinder Homes branding. The boat features a new set of sails with Harken branding and a commemorative “40” on the mainsail to mark the anniversary year.
Looking ahead, the class is preparing for the Pathfinder Homes B14 European and Global Championships, to be held in Torquay from 17–26 June 2026. With support from Pathfinder Homes, the event is expected to attract a strong international fleet for ten days of championship racing and associated social activities.
The B14 Class Association looks forward to welcoming visitors to Stand L38 at Farnborough and to a full programme of anniversary activity throughout 2026.
