Welcome to the very first issue of The Hardware Handbook, Allen’s new newsletter.
Here you’ll find the latest updates on all things Allen. From our performance hardware to exciting news from our world-class Team Allen athletes, we’ve got it covered.
In this inaugural issue, we reflect on the 2024 season—a year in which we proudly supported a diverse array of top-tier events, sailors, and classes, while introducing a range of performance sailing hardware to enhance their success.
The 49er is an adrenaline-pumping racing machine that demands top-notch control and rock-solid reliability from its hardware. At Allen, we’re all about crafting high-performance sailing gear designed for sailors who mean business.
In this guide, we’ll break down the fittings on a 49er, system by system, making it super easy to see what you need and why. Whether you’re tweaking your setup for lightweight or dialling it in for minimal friction, this guide has you covered.
Check out the list below for a breakdown of the key fittings and don’t miss the full video tour of a seriously tricked-out boat!
