Hyde Sails enjoys a successful Dinghy Show
Thursday, 17 September 2009
The Hyde Sails team enjoyed a busy weekend at the recent Volvo RYA Dinghy Show, held on March 7-8 at Alexandra Palace, London.
Star of the Hyde Sails stand was the Hyde Sailspowered Cherub, which Pete Barton and Roz Allen have raced so successfully since its launch last year. Hyde's brand-new range of accessories was on display, attracting lots of attention from visitors, and the show also marked the launch of Hyde's new online shop, www.hydeshop.com, where sails for a host of dinghy classes from Albacores, B14s and Contenders, to Optimists, Streakers and Wayfarers can be ordered direct from Hyde's website.
Toby Barsley-Dale, who looks after Hyde's UK onedesign sales, commented: "We are delighted with the response we had at the show. Over the weekend we saw a ride range of visitors on the stand from cruising sailors to World champions showing that Hyde offers something for everyone. Despite the recession, sales were good and it was great to be able to discuss a number of new projects with sailors, builders and class associations."
