During a trip with a group of friends to Burnham-on-Crouch, a well-known sailing centre on the East Coast of England, they saw a fleet of racing dinghies sail by. They were so impressed with these sleek sailing boats that they went along to the Royal Corinthian Yacht Club to find out more. There they met an American called Beecher Moore who convinced them that they should build their own racing dinghy. They built their first Hornet in their garden shed and fitted it out with homemade fittings. It soon became obvious to them that the brass cam cleats, which were highly prized on some of the race-winning boats, were heavy and very expensive, so they decided to design and engineer their own die-cast aluminum cam cleats. Of course, word spread of the new light innovative fittings amongst the fleet of Hornets and it wasn’t long before they were selling and bartering them amongst their friends. MADE IN THE UK D It was in 1956 that the Allen brothers formed their dinghy fittings enterprise into a company and Beecher Moore persuaded them to supply Jack Holt’s boat-building business with their innovative new products. So began the long and fruitful partnership they named Holt-Allen. Within a few years Allen Brothers had increased their resources to include their own design of injection moulding machines, metal press and punch machines and had increased their product range to include blocks, plastic cleats, sailmakers’ hardware, stainless steel rigging gear and more. Today, you can look at most sailing dinghies and you’ll find products designed and manufactured by Allen, from state-of-the-art dynamic bearing block systems, to humble yet essential ball stoppers. 4 www.allenbrothers.co.uk We have the capacity to produce thousands of different products, with a huge archive of tooling and the resources to fulfill the requirements of the marine trade and the discerning sailor, from mass production to custom design.

One or more sheaves are enclosed in an assembly between cheeks. In use a block is fixed to the end of a line, to a spar, or to a surface. Rope or line is threaded through the sheaves. Some blocks have a ratchet, which means that they turn freely when you pull a line in one direction but do not turn in the other direction. This makes a line easier to hold especially on a windy day. DESIGNED FOR SAILING “Allen blocks are currently the best on the market” John Pink 2009 - 49er Worlds Silver medallist Work on our range of blocks has headed the effort to find new standards of performance and construction. We invented the science behind the patented Allen dynamic bearing technology, and all our high performing blocks use this as a basis of the inner bearing system. We also invented and patented the Ultra-strap technology, a very narrow strap of high strength stainless steel, which can be lashed without the fear of line abrasion associated with blocks of traditional strap www.allenbrothers.co.uk construction.

Change in fact, is what Fourteening is, and always will be, about. As a concept it is not stuck in time. The class is fortunate in having a history that goes back to the very origins of racing small open boats and a future, that, within its chosen constraints, is as limitless as human endeavour and ingenuity can devise. It has been my pleasure to try and record the highlights of the International Fourteen. This is the fourth edition , first on the internet.. It is hard to believe that it is over forty years since I was first volunteered for the job. This has been the hardest version to pull together. For the simple reason that for the past few years my role has been of an interested , but distant, supporter rather than that of an enthusiastic, if indifferent, performer.

In addition to the sporting events that we have held for many years, the possibility of activities for other interest groups has been discussed, for example in music, computer programming, bridge playing, or whatever other diverse interests our members may have.

  • The Sandbag 10/30/10
    The Sandbag DAVE McCOMB A guide to selecting and enjoying the International Tempest Class sailboat In memory of Ian Proctor, who created a wonderful boat in 1965 and recreated it in 1990. II PREFACE Many people contributed generously of their time in helping prepare this book. I am particularly indebted to Don Cooper for his fine artwork, which was the basis for the computer- generated drawings in this edition. Also to Bruce Kirby for his design perspective in the foreword to the first edition, a fine tribute from one journalist-designer to another. Several others were good contributors precisely because they were not familiar with the Tempest. Rob MacArthur and Homer Hagedorn provided editorial help and questioned many points they found unclear, which led to the development of the glossary. Tempest owners also provided input and encouragement. Dick Bleier, Dave Duke, Wally Respess, Malcolm Lawson, Ed Hoyt and Jim O’Hara were particularly helpful. I extend my deep appreciation to these people and the many others who offered their encouragement and assistance. Copyright 1986, 1987, 1992 and 1996 by David W. McComb III INTRODUCTION I discovered the Tempest in the late 60s through a photograph. I’d never before seen grace and power so well combined in a one-design sailboat. And, I found when I first sailed one, it has more than just good looks: • It’s comfortable. The flat cockpit floor makes boat-handling a dream, and there’s no bruising centerboard trunk. • It’s fast. It has finished first or second among keelboats at all four Yachting One-of-a-Kind regattas it has attended, and has dominated in heavy weather.
