Clipper Ventures Chairman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said: �When we lost two masts in the Clipper fleet in just over a week during the race from Qingdao to Hawaii, the priority was to replace all the similar fittings to those that failed within the fleet and to manufacture and ship out two new masts to Hawaii. �Time was of the essence as the Clipper Race has a tight schedule and the plans of 200 crew members were at stake. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the Race Team in Hawaii, Finance Director Jeremy Knight and Fleet Manager John Farndell in the UK and the many companies involved around the globe led by UK-based Spencer Rigging, the fleet is now back racing again�,

Dear Ken, Mac & team... Just to say thank you for your rigging efforts on Eccolan last week. Your positive attitude and professionalism was very encouraging! Thanks again, Best regards, Mark Craven
