IOM Britpop!

Robot Yachts BritPop  General Specification

The Robot Yachts Britpop has been developed in collaboration with Designer Brad Gibson to replicate as closely as possible his originals that finished 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 2011 World Championship.  Since the 2011 West Kirby World Championship, Brad has tested and sailed 2 early production Robot Yachts built BritPOPs and the design, in the hands of Brad and others has continued its dominance of events throughout 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.  The Robot Yachts production models continue to demonstrate performance  comparable to the originals in every way.   BG has written a basic Rigging Guide  which can be provided with each boat.  We are learning all the time with this boat and there is plenty of detail available to help you extract the maximum from your BritPOP
