We want to share an update with the B14 community. World Sailing has withdrawn the B14's class status as of November 2025. While that's a change for the class, it doesn't affect our events and passion for sailing the world's fastest hiking skiff. Racing will continue as usual, supported by the Royal Yachting Association and Australian Sailing.
The Torquay 2026 event will continue as planned as the B14 Global Championship - stay tuned for updates coming soon!
Thanks to everyone who keeps the B14 spirit going strong - see you on the water ⛵💨
