Our R&D group uses a recently purchased Schock 35 as a training tool, and development racing platform. They try out new equipment, new bottom paint, sail materials, electronics, new line materials, etc.
Each year we are always trying something new. In 2011, we have a new Kevlar & carbon fiber #3 from Doyle Midwest and maybe one super secret new idea we can not tell you about - information is quarantined.
For more information on the crew, boat and racing effort - go to our Facebook page Free Agent Racing
The R&D group is an experienced team of technicians, racers, sailors and customers with successful local results. Some of our core group is pictured above.
