Noel O' Sullivan had a very successful race week with Alistair Buchanan skippering his Beneteau 40.7 class yacht "Aine of Fahan", winning his class and placed 2nd. overall in the Regatta. The racing sails that we manufactured have now completed ARC as well as all delivery trips which would be equivalent to several years of regular sailing. Its hard work racing in all that sunshine!
