Southern Spars, developer and manufacturer of high-performance composite spars, has appointed Rudy Jurg as head of sales for the DynaRig and AeroRig sailing systems.
Rudy will be responsible for driving revenue and shaping commercial growth for both products.
“We are delighted to welcome Rudy to the team,” said Vincent Guiot, group sales director. “His deep understanding and connections throughout the industry means we are perfectly positioned to place DynaRig and AeroRig at the forefront of future sailing systems. These are exciting times, and we wish Rudy all the best in his new role.”
Rudy brings more than 20 years’ experience of working in advanced composite and marine markets to his new role.
His arrival at Southern Spars comes as sailing yachts are becoming ever larger, potential superyacht and commercial ship owners growing more environmentally aware and there is a strong demand for simplified sailing systems.
The DynaRig and AeroRig meet this gap.
