FastComposites Quarterly (ish) December 2009 FastComposites Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year www.fastcomposites.ca Special points of interest: CCI strengthens industry partnerships • Jefa Partnership • Fogh Marine • APS (Annapolis Performance Sailing) • North Sails • Ultimate 20 TURBO • Laser tillers • Melges 24 bling • Summit Yachts In June this year, we signed as the eastern NA distributor for all Jefa bearings & steering products. This is very exciting as a complimentary product set for our existing rudders and posts. Often we are asked to provide recommendations for bearings in our solutions, and now we can supply these parts fitted and ready to go. They are already fitted to our posts for the Summit 35 production yachts and other custom fittings. Example CAD drawing of self aligning top bearing.

I was saying that the new rudder is so much nicer than the old rudder. Cheers,” - Tyler at Dundee Marine

FastComposites Ultimate 20—TURBO U-20 one piece carbon transom gudgeon—WAY cool “I thought you might be interested in an update on the rudders you built for Mick C. and I. We both did very well at Whidbey Island Race Week this year, and that was enough to prompt a guy to appeal our PHRF ratings because of our rudders. Fortunately, the handicappers have not agreed with him. At any rate, I have been very happy with the rudder and I think a lot of people noticed it this year with Mick and I rafted on the main dock at Race Week. Steve” - Steve T.
