Martin 16 Ullman Sails One Design

Ullman Sails sets the performance standard in the Martin 16 fleet. In early July, Ottawa Canada hosted the National Capital Cup Martin 16 event. In shifty, gusty conditions, Pierre Richard of the Pointe Claire Club (Montreal) took home top prize with four bullets, using a set of technora fiberpath sails from Ullman Sails.

To prove it was no coincidence, Pierre did it again the next weekend in the Quebec Cup in Montreal. Flying the same Ullman technora fiberpath sails, Pierre took first with 3 bullets. Congratulations Pierre on a very successful summer of racing.
