Back in December 2014 Dave featured in an article in New Zealand Boating magazine.

In case you missed it, here it is, republished with permission from our friends at New Zealand Boating magazine:

The Dave Giddens Story

We’re proud to report that yachts sailing our sails won 2 divisions at last weekend’s Coastal Classic.

David Slattery’s Appoloosa won Division 5.

Bernie Hyde’s Pacific Sundance won Division 3.

This week it was our pleasure craft a boom tent for local sailor and home boat builder Geoff Clendon’s Iain Oughtred-designed Fulmar named the Amokura.

Geoff regularly sails the Amokura as far afield as Coromandel, and with summer just around the corner we wish him many happy nights aboard.

We’re currently stitching together the mat to be used in the ring on the evening of the upcoming Joseph Parker – Kali Meehan bout. Standing on the mat in personal you get a real feel for the size of the ring – its much bigger than we’d imagined at approximately 7 by 5 metres.

Best of luck to Joseph and all the other local talent squaring off on the 15th of October at The Trusts Arena.

Sitting in the sun this afternoon after a busy day, one of our sailmakers spotted the following advert in the August 1985 edition of SeaSpray… 

As a proudly New Zealand owned and operated business we’ve been cheering New Zealanders on in all sorts of endeavours for over 40 years, especially sailing.

All the very best to the All Blacks in England!
