I14 Worlds success for CST - July 2009 |
|
Congratulations to Archie Massey and
Matt Noble for winning the 2008 I14 World Championships
in Germany; and also to Dave Alexander and Cameron
McDonald who finished 3rd using CST's new 57mm series
High Modulus mast. The mast which is over 10mm smaller
in diametre than it's closest competitor proved to be a
winning formula. Only developed in early March, the mast
was used once before being seriously tested in the windy
conditions at the World Championship in Germany. Proving
it's strength and durability with a crew who only
partnered and sailed together at the World
Championships, CST's new mast is sure to set some new
standards. Picture |
