by Sail-World on 11 Aug 2014 Here's your chance to win a trip for two to one of the seven ports of call in the upcoming Volvo Ocean Race.

Scott Vogel, President of Composite Rigging, announced that the company is sponsoring the 'ECsix T-Shirt Design Contest.'

According to Vogel, 'Everyone and anyone have a chance to win an expense paid 'trip for two' to one of seven ports-of-call along the Round the World Race. We are sure this promotion will create a stir within the sailing community.'

ECsix is the sole rigging supplier for the next two editions of this historic ocean race. As the world leader in carbon rigging ECsix has over 3000 stays in service on more than 500 sailing yachts, ranging from 11’ moths to 250’+ superyachts.

Since 2005 ECsix stays have sailed over 1,000,000 nautical miles in all conditions and have not had a single failure due to age, wear, waves, weather or water.

Vogel says, 'Composite Rigging has refreshed the look of ECsix with our new 'When Your Mast Must Stay Up' campaign, highlighting the strength and durability of ECsix products. We are now inviting the sailing world to have fun with the brand by entering our T-Shirt Design Contest. The winner can take a guest to either Sanya, Auckland, Itajai, Newport, Lisbon, Lorient or Gothenburg. This is an opportunity of a lifetime.'
