History of the family Business

brightlingsea

Sailspar was first formed in 1968 by Doug Beech MC and Reg White OBE in Brightlingsea, which is on the East Coast. It did not take long before business started to gather pace and Ted Wood (later to start SeaTech) joined the team and they started to supply not only yacht masts but to develop new parts for the catamaran market.

Reg’s fortay being with Catamarans helped to develop the rig that won John Osbourne of England the Gold in the 1976 Olympics.
