RIO 100 sets blistering pace in SoCal 300 with new Hall Spars racing boom

Following a major refit in New Zealand, Rio 100 has already being making waves on the regatta circuit, and her performance in the recent SoCal 300 was no exception.

Equipped with a new Hall Spars & Rigging racing boom, Rio 100 tore around the 260 nautical mile SoCal 300 course, finishing the race in 16 hours and 27 minutes. The California race, which the Rio team say is the best in the state, gave Rio's new Hall package a chance to prove itself over the challenging course which saw the fleet weave through offshore islands in some of the roughest water in California.
