Hall Spars NZ update

The fit-out department at Hall Spars NZ have had a busy September finishing off and shipping out six projects in the space of two weeks. Two OceanFurl booms were shipped, bound for new performance cruising yachts in Europe. One for the ninth Oyster 885 and the other for the first of the new Swan 65 range, of which there are three currently in build. 

Hall Spars NZ also shipped two TF10 masts at the end of last month, headed to newly built yachts in Australia and Europe. The TF10 yachts are an exciting new foiling trimaran class that makes foiling sailing simple and available to club racing sailors. One customer, a car enthusiast, requested a special paint job using Mercedes custom paint colours.  Despite being departure from the norm, the paint team handled it brilliantly with a fantastic looking end result.
