OCEAN RACE BONANZA FOR CAPE TOWN COMPOSITES SPECIALIST

Cape Town composite accessories specialist Fused Composites scored a rare production milestone for brand SA with repair work on some of the high-tech Ocean Race competitors.

Wilhelm Botha and his team haven’t been around for long – Botha started up in his garage in 2019 – but they are already in the big league. The Ocean Race is considered the Forumla 1 of Ocean Racing, with foiling yachts that would not be out of place in outer space.

 

Botha says the Ocean Race represented another opportunity to showcase his company’s growing skill-set: “We ended up helping four of the Ocean Race teams during the Cape Town stopover,” Botha told Sabbex, adding that the work included composite repairs. “We assisted with infrastructure, with material supply, and we opened up our supply chain to the Race teams.”

“It was quite an amazing experience,” Botha said.
