The GP14 Class International Association

On this website you can find everything you need to start, or get more involved in, sailing GP14's - we hope you enjoy visiting our website. The GP14 Class International Association is committed to supporting GP14 sailing world-wide. The extensive work of the Association depends on the support of GP14 sailors and their membership. In this section you can read about some of the many benefits that the Association offers. One of the best ways for GP14 sailors to maximise enjoyment of their GP14 is to join the Association and help support it's work. If you are not already a member, please join us today. To join, simply follow this link to the GP14 Class International Association Membership Form, or, if you would like to speak to somebody, please click here to contact the Association office. ABOUT THE GP14 Subscriptions, Royalties & Boat Registration Fees Why join? Membership of the Association is inexpensive and provides many benefits to anyone who owns a GP14, including:

  • GP14 Racing Circuit
  • - class racing at world, national and regional level
  • Social Events
  • - outstanding social events, not to be missed
  • Cruising
  • - support and events for those who want to use their GP14 to cruise rather than race
  • Coaching
  • - organised coaching at all levels - bronze, silver or gold fleet sailor, young or young at heart (we are never too good or too old to improve)
  • Class Rules
  • - protecting the one-design status of the GP14 and controlling maximum prices, which helps to promote fair racing and prevent the value of used-boats crashing
  • Technical Information and Know-How – access to documents and members with years of GP14 experience – everything from sailing techniques to how to build a boat!
  • Members' Magazine
  • - Mainsail, the Association's very own colour magazine packed full of articles, tips and advice
  • Website and emails
  • - access to a huge amount of information at the click of a button, including "Members Only" sections containing lots of helpful hints
  • Insurance Scheme
  • - approved discounted insurance scheme
  • Sailing - a common passion
  • - a network of friends who all have at least one thing in common and an enthusiasm to share and promote it

For some membership simply provides an opportunity to share an absorbing hobby with friends - for others it the route to fulfilling their sporting ambitions. Many of the World's successful sailors learnt to sail in a GP14, including Ellen MacArthur and several winners of other national and international classes, the Admirals Cup and the Olympics. Whatever you are seeking, membership presents an opportunity to make new and lasting friendships, both in your home country and throughout the World, whilst taking part in one of the greatest sporting activities on earth! We hope to hear from you.
