Ger O'Rourke has called on the expertise of North Sails’ designer Gautier Sergent to complete Delta Lloyd's sail wordrobe.
North Sails designed and built sails for both ABN Amro boats in the last race but even so making the sail inventory with a two month deadline has been a tall order.
Gautier was not only the designer behind Brasil 1’s sails in the last VOR, but he also had a hand in designing the new rule, so he knew what was required to complete an entire inventory of sails in just a few weeks.
