'With the wing mast I have, we ended up doing three luff curve changes to my sail, and Derek did a great job to make my rig a real pleasure to sail with (and easy as well, meaning more time to look around)!' Andrew said in an article on Sail-World.com.
Jayvee Buchanan took out his second national championship title, this time in the Optimist class, at the Toyota Optimist National Championships held in Whitianga.
