Doyle has worked very hard over the past 15 months to build and design the easiest, fastest sails in the fleet. Brad Boston has been the leader in this regard and has closely worked with both our customers and our in house design team.
Next up for the Doyle Viper program is Charleston Race Week. This is a great event in April that will have a great attendance and more Doyle Viper Sails on the water there. Look for both Brad and Tac Boston to be there sailing there in the Viper.
