It has been a busy start to the season for Team Ullman. The racing season is in full swing and regatta stories are flooding in from all over the country.
San Diego NOOD was a huge success and the Ullman Viper 640 program is making huge strides in one of the most exciting boats around. Congratulations to Chris Winnard for winning the tough fleet and Tim Carter for earning himself a third place finish.
Ullman Sails was well represented with winners in many classes:

Scott Poe, Kenny Cooper and Erik Shampain recently returned from The Newport To Cabo Race, all having started Friday, and were lucky to miss out on the violent conditions that plagued the A fleets. Jack Taylor's Ullman powered Santa Cruz 50 "Horizon" finished first in class and first overall. The Horizon crew have been visiting the podium on a regular basis this year and we look forward to them continuing their success in the Transpac.
Ullman Sails, Dimension Polyant and RBS Battens teamed up to give the 2011 Congressional Cup a boost when they sponsored brand new sails for the 11 Catalina 37's. Each boat was fitted with brand new Carbon GPPL sails that helped make this one of the most successful Con Cups in recent memory. The sailing was intense and the crowd were treated to some close action as boats went right up to the pier looking for advantages. Check out the awesome video, and congratulations to Ian Williams on the impressive victory.
