British Association at the RYA London Dinghy Show

The British Association keeps promoting the A-Cats at the RYA annual show. Excellent work by the local Class.

"For the fourth year running, the BACCA has exhibited at the RYA Dinghy Show in London’s Alexandra Palace. Several thousand visitors attended and saw reigning UK National Champion Sam Newton’s new Exploder A15 on display. The boat was so new, only arriving in the country two weeks earlier and has yet to be sailed. Sam and other BACCA members took advantage of the ready availability of hardware at the show to configure the control systems to his own personal specification, spending a few hours splicing and adjusting lines as well as answering many questions about the new mount.

The UK ‘A’ Cat scene has greatly benefited from exhibiting at this popular event as potentially interested sailors get a chance to see the boat in the flesh, meet ‘A’ cat sailors and discuss the latest developments in the class. The discussion of foiling was again the top hot topic this year and this may well push a few close waverers into finally giving us a go."
