Kelly-Hanson Sails
Premium Cruising & Storm Sails
N.G.C.C. Participants Awarded Kelly-Hanson Storm Jib
Back in April we got an order for a custom Catalina 22 mainsail and jib from Bob Burnham who lives just west of Tallahassee, FL. Shortly after receiving his new sails, he gave us a call to order a storm jib and to tell us about an upcoming “Catalina 22 Only” cruise called the Northern Gulf Coast Cruise. This is no small gathering. In fact, they had over 20 boats from five different states for this year’s cruise, which was their 13th annual. We think anytime two sailboats are out playing together is pretty cool, let alone a couple dozen of the exact same boat. The NGCC is a 130+ mile cruise along the Florida panhandle coast.
Given the enthusiasm of this group of trailer sailors, we decided we’d try something we’ve never done before. We donated one of our small-boat storm jibs plus a few half-hull models, a varied assortment of new dock lines, tell tales and DVDs from our sister companies SailVision.net and Kelly-Hanson Marine.
A young couple from Tennessee, Josh & Katie Landers (and first-time participants in the Cruise and new sailors), were delighted to win the storm jib for their 22.

WingZ Sailboats Selects Kelly-Hanson!
WingZ Sailboats has named Kelly-Hanson Sails as it's official sail provider for the exciting new Z-21 trailerable cruising catamaran.
The Z-21 carries a large, full battened fathead mainsail as well as a jib and screacher. Each of the three sails are color coordinated to match the boats hull, trampoline and graphics color.
Although the boat was designed for for novice and family sailors, it does have the ability to really scoot. 20 plus knots in boat speed are possible with the right wind and sail combination.
We will have a few photos up shortly. Check back soon.

A Big Thanks to Small Craft Advisor Magazine
We were thrilled when Cruising World Magazine chose to highlight our company in a May, 2009 article.
No sooner had the euphoria started to wear off, we received word that Small Craft Advisor had done the same!
For those of you that are not familiar with the magazine, you really should consider a subscription to this gorgeous bi-monthly. It is one of those coffee table publications you will hold on to like a coveted issue of National Geographic
The magazine is a joy to hold and read. It is printed on that great heavy coated stock and features articles as well as reviews on smaller sailboats.
In a market that has been underserved for so long, Kelly-Hanson has stepped up to the plate and is now providing affordable, quality built sails for the small day sailer and cruiser.
A Big Thanks to Cruising World Magazine!
Thanks, Cruising World!
