My work with the Australian Olympic sailing team has continued and I have recently returned home from the Rio games. Once again our team performed very well winning 4 medals, 1 gold and 3 silver. Congratulations to all the sailors.
Our 470 foils continue to perform well with Mat Belcher and Will Ryan using them to win their silver medal. Our 470 foils have now won medals at the last 3 Olympic games totalling 3 gold and 1 silver. Our work with the Australian Olympic Sailing team extends across all the classes and will continue through to Tokyo 2020.

The 2015/16 NS14 National titles were held in Canberra. Sailing with my crew Emma Rankin I am please to announce that Emma and I managed to win the event and are now the current national champions. This is very satisfying for us after finishing a very close 3rd place at last seasons national titles. We used our standard “Tiger” hull, our standard carbon foils, our standard Ronstan fit out, Truflo sails and CST carbon spars. We look forward to trying to defend the title in Tasmania.

3 wins in 2013 National titles for our boats. The winners in the NS14’s, MG14’s and Flying Elevens were all using our boats, congratulations to all the sailors involved.

For the second Olympics in a row our 470 foils have helped our sailors win GOLD. Congratulations to Mat Belcher and Mal Page for winning the gold medal in Weymouth a fantastic result. It was a great honor to have our foils used by such a great team and we look forward to continuing the development of our 470 foils with the Australian Sailing Team.

I was recently in Weymouth England as the team boat builder for the Australian Olympic Sailing Team. It was a fantastic experience to be a member of the most successful sailing team Australia has ever had.

We have move to a new factory location. The new address is 2/19 Middleton road Cromer NSW 2099.

Our new CNC cut moulds for our Spiral foils produce beautiful foils with our clear super tough finish. These are available now.

Our work with the AUS sailing Olympic team continues with new foils being produced for the 470’s.

All our boats performed well at their respective National titles over the christmass/new year period with 1st places in the Flying 11’s and MG14’s.
