Sponsorship
Because of these gracious companies, we have been able to afford the best equipment. A huge thanks to them!
Harken: Harken has given us a deal on their state of the art Carbon Fiber “Carbo” blocks. These blocks are super lightweight and friction free. Both of which help us get up to full speed! www.harken.com
Samson Ropes: Samson has very high tech line. The have provided us with spools of vectran and spectra with has saved us a bunch of money. The 49er burns through lots of rope and it is great to have them as a sponsor. www.samsonropes.com
Magic Marine: These guys have sponsored Cy for a while in the Laser. We got them give us some 49er type of gear. There stuff is great fitting and really makes a difference in our performance. www.magicmarinegear.com
Our Magic Marine dealer from the Virgin Island is Jones Maritime. They are all things sailing in St. Croix. www.jonesmaritime.com
McLube: This stuff is magical! It is a very dry lubricant. We spray it on everything. It helps get the spinnaker up quicker so we can get up on a plane really quick at the top mark. We also lube the spin bag so when we douse it only takes a second to get the spin in the bag, thus we can leave it up longer.
Patagonia:
This famous outdoor ware company helps us with out nonsailing gear. The silk weight capilene tshirts are great for the boat park when we need to keep the sun off of us while still staying cool.
Kaenon Sunglasses:
These glasses are simply the best. Both Cy and I have multiple pairs. We have them for foggy days or sunny days. Their technology in polarization really helps us spot puffs of wind that can often make a big difference at the finish line.
