Southern Spars, leading innovator 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.

Rudy's arrival at Southern Spars comes at a crucial time for the company. With sailing yachts becoming ever larger and potential superyacht and commercial ship owners growing more environmentally aware, there is a strong demand for simplified sailing systems. The DynaRig and AeroRig fulfil this gap perfectly.

Rudy brings extensive sales experience, technical knowledge and commitment to the delivery of outstanding products and services. This expertise comes from his experience working at the leading edge of the advanced composite and marine markets for the past 20 years.

Vincent Guiot, Group Sales Director, comments, "We are delighted to welcome Rudy to the team. 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."
