White Group sports boats will enjoy three races on laid courses each week.
From its loft at Universal Marina on the Hamble River Tom Milne, Managing Director of Doyle Sails, said 'We are delighted to be the Race Partner for the 2018 Warsash Spring Series. The classes involved in this premier racing event are a great match for Doyle Sails which is one of the World's leading sailmakers specialising in high performance sails.
"We look forward to the racing getting underway and will be on hand to provide service and support throughout the series. Our Sail Drop Off point at Port Hamble Marina, and for the duration of the Series at the Warsash Sailing Club, will be open to competitors requiring repairs or servicing between races. In preparation, we welcome all competitors to call us or come and visit to make sure their sails are ready for action".
Doyle Sails design and development origins lie in the competitive world of the Americas Cup and today the likes of Hugo Boss and the current J/70 World Champion 'Relative Obscurity' are being powered to success with Doyle sails. The same high level of performance is brought to its cruising sails, combined with a personal service that aims to enable each Doyle customer to get the best from their sails.
Series Chairman, Peter Bateson said: "It's fantastic to have Doyle Sails onboard and we thank them for supporting the 2018 Spring Series. We're really looking forward to working with them when the racing gets underway on 18 March".
