Ben Duke
Ben has over 20 years experience in the marine industry working for a variety of companies including five years at Hyde Sails. He has also worked for a variety of dinghy and yacht manufacturers, in sales and on the yard management and yacht commissioning side.
Ben will be offering the full services of a Hyde agent, including advice for all types of sailors on their existing sail wardrobe and offering expert assistance with upgrades and replacements. His wealth of experience both within the brand, and from the other side as a customer, mean he is ideally placed to offer a great service.
‘As well as a strong name, the Hyde team has got immense experience and expertise,’ says Ben, who is looking forward to being involved with the brand again. ‘With their high quality manufacturing processes I have every confidence in Hyde’s design and manufacture. Hyde delivers a fantastic product and has an impressive fulfillment record, so I know I can rely them on in terms of getting sails to new customers, and their performance on the race course, whether it be in the dinghy or the yacht market.’
Ben has been sailing on Hyde-powered boats for many years, including in the J/80 class, Laser SB3 and Melges 32. He’s also competed in the Round Britain and Ireland Race and enjoys cruising on the family’s Beneteau 40cc. Having moved north to be near his family, Ben will be sailing from the Blackpool and Fleetwood YC.
