Not just a skiff.
The world’s fastest hiking skiff.
The B14 is a two-person skiff designed in Sydney by Australian 18ft Skiff legend Julian Bethwaite.
The B14 shares many characteristics with Julian’s most famous design, the Olympic 49er class, ensuring high speed, fast action and competitive racing.
The B14 is officially recognised by World Sailing as an International class, with boats active in the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
The B14 is the world’s unrivalled fastest two-person hiking skiff.
“The B14 is awesome in every way.”
