I like to think that, with good sailing , and in designing the sails ( especially the assymetrical spinnakers) for our Beneteau 34.7 Minds Eye , Geoff proved you could win utilising A Sails in Western Australia .

Truly a cobber! He was instrumental in helping us build our very first racing team, giving us good honest advice on what sails we really needed and what we don’t need at all, cutting our great fast sails, racing with us, ever so patient teaching us the tricks of the trade in racing and helping us build a solid core team and solid foundation in yacht racing! Thank you Geoff!

This developed into a friendship along with client relationship where I not only enjoyed the quality of UK sails, they came with his full support and advice whenever needed.
First class service was evident one weekend when we managed to tear a brand new kite on Saturday. We had entered the Harbour Race the next day.
Geoff was in New Zealand at the time but this didn’t stop me calling him for help.
Geoff arranged for it to be picked up from RPYC, taken to loft overnight, repaired and thrown to us on the boat in the harbour 30 minutes before start. Awesome effort.
