Chris Sayer & Southern Spars

“We sponsored Chris’ rig because he is one of the true achievers in New Zealand sailing,” said David Barnaby, Southern Spars’ Designer. “In the 1999 event he was third in a boat he built himself.”

“Last year he lost his new boat in the Tasman after hitting a submerged object. But we were really impressed by his determination to start again from scratch and build another boat and compete successfully.”
