A Strong Start to 2015

As of the writing of this edition, Hall-rigged yachts have swept the podium in the Maxi 2 class at Les Voiles de St. Barths - an impressive regatta for Lupa of London, Selene and Stark Raving Mad VII. Claiming the top two in CSA Spinnaker 0, TP52s Vesper and Sorcha held strong throughout the event. The Hall advantage helped sail these boats to victory.

The year began with a win for Ker 46 Partrice, rig by Hall NZ, claiming IRC Division 1 victory in the Sydney-Hobart Race by over 2 hours, beating out many larger grand prix yachts. Next up, Tonnerre 4 (left) at Key West Race Week, with Ker 43 Otra Vez coming in a close second in IRC 2. In March, Swan 80 Selene took first in IRC Class A at the Rolex Swan Caribbean Cup, and Baltic/RP 147 Visione followed with a Class A win at the St. Barth's Bucket at the end of the month.

Hall-rigged yachts continue to place in the top three at events the world over - can't wait to see what the rest of 2015 has in store!
