Pretty Happy to have had opportunity from Elliott Marine to Provide the Mast Boom and Rigging packages for the new fleet of Elliott Seven's for the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS).

It's also a very nice Feeling to be able to Manufacture all these here in New Zealand, we all know that it's not easy, but building in lots of 11, and being able to work with Greg on a few Ideas to make the Production side of things easier helps a lot.

Also, a huge shout out to Emirates Team New Zealand without them this project would not have happened.

The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) Training Program has been used by a huge number of New Zealand's Elite Yachts Men and Woman to launch their Careers, and the fleet replacement will allow that to carry on at a high level for the next 15 years.

A huge shout out also to the team here at NZ Rigging that has worked methodically and to some pretty tight product times to make this project viable.
