July 2024 Newsletter
In our July 2024 newsletter, Southeast Sailboats has been travelling; a new version of our world beating ProMAX-99 traveller; we look at what will be on Micky Beckett and Hannah Snellgrove ILCA’s at this summer's main event in France; travel tiller extensions; and a few other new things!
Southeast Sailboats in Canada
Southeast Sailboats was a proud sponsor of the Canadian ILCA Masters championships held at Jericho Beach Sailing Centre in beautiful Vancouver a few weeks ago. Sailing in this spectacular venue with mountains on one side and the Vancouver skyline on the other is something that I will remember for ever. Many thanks to everyone involved in running this wonderful event with super close racing and great hospitality.

Rigging Clinic at Rutland
Southeast Sailboats ran a rigging clinic at the inaugural UK Women’ ILCA Regatta held at Rutland Sailing Club last weekend. This great 2 day event saw training sessions on the Saturday coached by some of the country’s top ILCA sailors, with racing on the Sunday, plus yoga and fun! Southeast Sailboats had a great time helping sailors with their rigging. Well done to all involved!
ProMax-99 Traveller - The ‘go for gold’ Yellow Bib edition
Micky Beckett led the testing of our world leading ProMAX-99 traveller a few years ago and it is used by European champions, Olympic gold medallists and more. Featuring the same core as the original but with a super slick yellow cover, this new 'go for gold' Yellow Bib edition is the best traveller you can get. Used by Micky at the Hyeres regatta look out for this traveller at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics!
Rigging for Micky Beckett and Hannah Snellgrove
Coming around every 4 years it’s not often that you get the opportunity to build up rigging for arguably the most important sailing event of all. For the upcoming sailing in the south of France, Southeast Sailboats is delighted to be supplying all the rigging for our ILCA sailors, Micky Beckett and Hannah Snellgrove. Southeast Sailboats wishes them both all the best. Southeast Sailboats will be enthusiastically waving from the Marseille shoreline!

Rooster travel tiller extensions
We asked Rooster if they would do a two part travel tiller extension and they said yes! Make travel packing easier! We have a very limited quantity available from stock, with more arriving soon.
Wrap around 'Push Through' outhaul gooseneck blocks
Our outhaul systems have always used a ‘slide down the mast’ outhaul block at the gooseneck as we feel that they are less likely to get lost. For those who prefer a wrap around/push through type these are now available on the website. If you want a wrap around/push through block instead of the normal ‘slide down’ block when you order an outhaul system just add a note at checkout.
