Delighted to have been able to lend a hand with some (a lot of!) stitching on two of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race sails. Very impressive putting back together work by the crews who only had their boats, the pontoons and the sailing club lawn to work on! Top job!

Pleased to install a new hydraulic backstay adjuster with a new articulated tensioner bar custom CNC machined by . The hydraulic adjuster allows quicker and better adjustment of the backstay which is used to tension the forestay and increase mast bend. In low winds tension can be eased to allow a fuller more powerful sail shape, and in high winds increasing the tension helps improve pointing ability by flattening off the sails. As a part of this upgrade we also fitted a new dyneema backstay with spliced ends which helps reduce the weight of the standing rigging. It’s great to work with highly skilled local and global suppliers to get the best outcome for our customers!
