After a day of load testing, in the early hours of Tuesday morning the wing-mast was attached to the BOR 90 trimaran for the very first time. “This is just an amazing moment,” said James Spithill, the helmsman for the team. “As sailors, we’re just very excited to try this out. We can’t thank the guys on the build and shore teams enough as they’ve put in a massive effort to get this ready for us.”
