All the team at Southern Spars and Future Fibres are extremely proud to have been working with Bronenosec Sailing Team - TP52 on the design and construction of their new 52 Super Series boat rig package.

This incredible journey ahead of the upcoming season was accomplished on Friday with the launch of the boat at the Real Club Náutico Valencia.

As the go-to supplier for the rig package in the world’s leading monohull circuit, project leaders Vladimir Liubomirov and Alberto Barovier and boat captain Francesco Benetti entrusted Southern Spars to design and manufacture the latest generation of tp52 mast and boom as well as RAZR rigging from Future Fibres.

Together Southern Spars and Future Fibres provide a fully integrated and optimised rig package where the entire sail and rig plan works cohesively and there is a perfect understanding of the loads on the hull and rig.

Bring on the first event of the circuit in less than one month!
