Mike Garl’s Beneteau 40.7 White Dove powered by Doyle Sails ended the 2008 West Coast season with a bang by winning St. Francis Yacht Club’s Rolex Big Boat Series! A long list of victories in 2008 set White Dove apart from the competition as THE boat to beat.

“Doyle Sailmakers did a great job providing fast sails, and played a larger part in organizing crew and managing the program” according to Jon Stewart, Tactician. White Dove’s crew included Nathan Ballard, and Doyle San Francisco’s Rusty Canada.

White Dove dominated the 2008 season winning the competitive SF-IRC season, Aldo Alessio Regatta, the West Coast IRC Championship, and a Rolex for their class win in the Big Boat Series. “It has always been my goal to win a Rolex, and Doyle San Francisco played a large part in achieving that goal. Doyle has provided me with fast sails, great advice in optimizing my boat for IRC, and unsurpassed service. I look forward to working with Doyle Sailmakers in the future,” said Mike Garl, Owner.
