Belinda Reuvers
Accounts
There are cynics who suggest that Jan employs his wife to keep costs down since he can pay family a lower wage. There may be a very small iota of truth in that, but realists suggest that without Belinda's flair, intuition, acumen, patience and understanding of the human side of things,the whole show could run out of wind, which in a sail business could be a bit difficult. On many crucial issues, she is the lady to talk to, which is to say, talk to the boss.

Tony Strutt
Sales and Admin
Tony should have been christened Gung Ho. There is few things that this man will not attempt, well at least once he has had a careful look at it, and rationally assessed the options. He is a champion windsurfer, in which sport he represented South Africa in 1981/82 in Sardinia. (It is also the sport which has had the greatest impact on sail design in the last two decades!) Trained in information technology, (he was formerly MD of of a leading Data Storage firm) he brings an incisive mind to any problem, along with a vast experience in sailing from dinghies to ocean racers, with many medals to his credit. Call him for measured and thoughtful advice.
