Etchells Program Update #2

The Ullman Sails Etchells program is in full swing with Dave Ullman, Eric Shampain,  Chuck Skewes, Bruce Hollis, and Bucky Smith all working feverishly processing results, photos, and video in every type of condition to get the best sails on the race course.

The weekend of November 14th and 15th showed that in the 8-10 that the current design is very fast up wind.  With some adjustments on what we learned that weekend we continue to improve the product that the Etchells fleet will have available to them in January.

Not only is Ullman Sails working on sails but on the set up of the boat so that it is easy for someone to hop into this highly competitive fleet and get up to speed right away and be competitive.  Ullman Sails goal is to have 3 or more Ullman customers in the top 5 at the 2011 World Championships held in San Diego by San Diego Yacht Club.

Check for more news coming soon on the next stage of the Ullman Sails Etchells Program.
