Congratulations to longtime North Sails friend and customer Sam Haynes, who hoists the Tattersall Cup in celebration of TP52 Celestial's overall victory in the 2022 @officialrolexsydneyhobart. In addition to overall winner Celestial, North Sails was onboard with 50% of the top ten finishers. This win is a massive achievement for Haynes, whose hopes of overall victory were dashed last year by protest. He commented on the team's win: 💬 “It's like an elation – it's huge for me and the crew. I can't believe it; it's a bit of a life changer. It was hard waiting (to be told one way or the other). We couldn't really enjoy the experience until now. I'm so proud of the whole background - our program - and to sail against the best IRC fleet I've sailed in, ever." Haynes works closely with the North team in Australia, and North Team Rider Rob Greenhalgh was onboard for the 2022 win. Many of the North Sails team were participating in this year's race, some of them multi-year veterans of the "Great Race." With the results stamped in history, it's now time for a well deserved rest. #NSVictoryList #RolexSydneyHobart #TP52 #Celestial #sailing #offshoresailing 📸 @rolex / @afrancolini
