In the last Sydney Hobart Race, Jules Hall and Jan Scholten won the two-handed division in all three handicap systems aboard their J99 Disko Trooper Contender Sailcloth. And if they’d been scored in the fully crewed category, they’d have won overall in ORCi……….Impressive stuff. Their mainsail and jibs were made from Contender Sailcloth’s ZZ Jet Black Aramid laminates.
