New Sponsors: Kinder Industries & PLBrentals.com & Holmenkol

We are happy to welcome on board the addition of two new sponsors.

Kinder Industries located in Bristol, RI made us a beautiful mast bag for our Nacra 20. These guys are really professional, I simply took some measurements off a mast and gave them to them and they made up a product that works even better than I expected! The quality material they use will be really helpful to protect our carbon mast for the 5 months that it sits on top of a trailer in Southern Florida. If you need covers or anything I would highly reccomend these guys. Click on the logo to the right for their link. Thanks to everyone at Kinder!

PLBrentals.com has graciously donated two PLB's for our use for the Tybee 500. This will be really helpful as this will save us $120 that we can now spend on other much needed gear. The guys at PLBrentals.com are really helpful and really supportive. If your looking to rental PLBs, Epirbs, or etc definitely check out their site by clicking their logo to the right. Thank you PLBrentals.com!

Holmenkol has sent us three of their products Seal N Glide, AquaSpeed, and Sport Polish. The Seal N Glide will help improve our spinnaker snuffing while not allowing the sail to absorb water. We have used this stuff before and it is really slick! The AquaSpeed and Sport Polish will make our hulls really nice and slick to give us the couple knots of extra boatspeed which will really add up over 500 miles!
In addition, these guys set us up with the Care Fleece for applying these products and made sure we were 100% clear on how to apply them! Thanks to everyone at Holmenkol!
