When not racing or helping clients with their new sails, Geoff loves getting out on the water with his family and friends. Geoff owned the King 40 CHECKMATE winning many offshore events in WA waters. When not on the water it’s family, Aussie rules football, barbeques and just having a good time.
“ I really enjoy seeing my clients using their new sails and sailing well, there is nothing better than meeting a client who is so excited about the improvement in their boat performance .”
“I enjoy my sailing and I want my clients to as well.”
