Team Allen sailor Dylan Fletcher recently returned from Argentina with a new title to add to his already impressive collection – International Moth World Champion.

After a challenging week of sailing, Dylan took home the win with a final scorecard of 17pts. An impressive 10 points clear of second place.

Dylan’s new boat, a Maguire Aerocet, was fully fitted with Allen hardware. Below you can find out more about the fittings which kept his boat frictionless and fast!

I just wanted to say thank you to Allen for supporting my moth campaign, its awesome to be sailing with such incredible hardware that did not fail once. The XHLs and now the new TiTAN have been a game-changer and remain untouchable for high load applications.

The time for the northern GP had arrived with a lovely late morning start, Christmas tunes were playing and a surprisingly windy-looking puddle awaited. Would Rutland deliver the goods? 

After some cheeky rounds of table tennis, Oscar was the one to beat on the land but could he keep it together as well as Poland’s defensive lineup on the water? With the first races underway Noah and James showed domination at the committee with some very punchy last minute gap stealing skillz. After a couple of bullets they were the ones to beat. With some rogue sleet storms passing through and the wind going up and down like the pound with Truss, most were ready to go in after the supremacy of FitzCross.
