This week Brad and Andrew are joined by the owner of one of Falmouth's leading sail-makers, Gavin Watson. Penrose has been sail-making for almost 200 years. Gavin has been a successful dinghy sailor, had national championhips wins in J24s, and been part of a Sigma 33 crew in the boom years of the class. After starting at the firm when just 17, Gavin found his calling, and grew with the business until he finally purchased the company three years ago. We hear about the business of making sails, his competitive career and why it doesn't pay to end up downwind of a Swan 64.
