Multinational Boat Source's Sponsored Sailor: Chris Volkers

We've Sponsored Chris by providing him the use of a Pro-Championship Optimist Dinghy.  The boat is fully decked out with the same gear that's used on the charter boats for the IODA World Championships.  Including FarEast Championship Hull, Optiparts BlackGold Spars, FarEast Championship Foils, and the FarEast Championship Mainsheet System this boat is ready for racing!  Chris also loves our FarEast trolly with bright yellow wheels!  

Chris's passion for sailing is obvious!

 Chris has had a great season in the Optimist and we looking forward to following his progress.  He'll be racing one more Opti race in our boat at the upcoming BC Optimist Championship in Comox BC.  


On October 8th and 9th, Chris qualified to represent the South Coast/Island Region in the 420 class by winning the Provincial Qualifying Regatta for Sea Cadets.  Great job Chris!  Keep up the good work!
