The original spar was severely damaged in this year's Round the Island Race, and we were able to provide a replacement in rapid time and to a specification which matched the original as closely as possible. This project was carried out in conjunction with one of our Sparring Partners - Southern Masts and Rigging (Brighton)

For Half Ton or Quarter Ton, the decision is simple - use Z SPARS!

JULY 2011: 'ESPADA' wins the COUTTS 2011 QUARTER TON CUP.
