News: The lightweight winner

The lightweight winner

Maguire Boats customers range from triple Olympic gold medallists to current  America’s  Cup sailors, via weekend sailors.  

 “Whoever it is though, the product doesn’t change,” says Simon Maguire, “the quality is consistently high for every customer. I meet them as they come off the water to get direct feedback. Everything is about performance around the racecourse, the foil is a key part of this. 

 “I used PRO-SET® epoxy before I set Maguire up (ten years ago) so I had a good understanding of it. The relationship has grown as my business has grown. Wessex Resins and Adhesives gave us a real head start with the infusion process. Now that’s a key component to the product – it makes it consistent and reliable.”
