This week Terry Kohler (USA, left), Chairman of the North Marine Group (which includes Southern Spars and North Sails) and a lifelong yacht racer and AC supporter, was in Auckland and visited our team base. Terry was given the cook's tour by Steve Wilson (NZL, center) who is head of our spar design department and an executive with Southern Spars. That's Paul "Flipper" Westlake (AUS, right), a member of our sailing team (mainsail trimmer) who is a North Sails alum.

Terry and Stevo checking in with another North operative, Mickey Ickert (GER/NZL, left) who is head of our sail design team.
