Formula Yacht Spars was proud to support the recent 18ft Skiff National Championships which marked the unveiling of new Formula 18ft skiff products.

The event marked the 4th Round of the UK 18ft Skiff circuit and was hosted by the Royal Torbay Yacht club based in Torquay on the Devon Riviera.
The UK 18ft skiff fleet is currently the strongest in Europe with the first 4 places in the European circuit being held by UK teams.
Formula Spars sponsored the event, providing a gift for every competitor and prizes for the top 3 teams. Involvement in the 18ft skiff fleet comes from the Senior Project Manager Marcus Royle who sails on one of the boats.  Formula Spars have developed, and can now supply filament wound bowsprits and racks for the class as well as a female moulded boom which is the lightest and stiffest on the market and was unveiled at the Torbay event.
