Shane and his pals collect the Didi Mini Transat kit prize

This one has taken some while to actually happen,Shane and Ruben, a co school mate,entered a competition in Sailing magazine,the prize of which was funded by Mike, one of our customers with the idea of increasing the new class in South Africa,unfortunatley Rubens parents had to return home to Belgium and that was the end of that for a few years.

Time moves on,Shane has worked at North Sails as a sailmaker since leaving high school,he was chosen to be part of the sail making team for South Africas Americas Cup bid in Spain,Shane went with them to Barcelona,he has also had success in the local Lipton Cup races too.

Shane is standing to the left.

There is now a team of three,the other two being hands on boat builders will have no problems assembling this set of bulkheads,they will work their way through the rest of the build as and when funds allow the main thing is they have started!
