Volvo Ocean Race Champion Brad Marsh steps onboard at Hall Spars & Rigging NZ
The team at Hall Spars & Rigging NZ is excited to welcome accomplished sailor and professional rigger Brad Marsh onboard.

Marsh brings a wealth of experience from campaigns including the 2012 Volvo Ocean Race and TP52 Super Series to his new role heading the Hollow Composite Battens (HCB) Programme and Custom Projects at the Hall Spars & Rigging New Zealand workshop.
“The main attraction of working at Hall Spars & Rigging NZ is the great team of people currently working there,” says Marsh. “I’m excited to be a part of it and look forward to using my experience and knowledge to contribute to and develop the brand.”
His new role will include driving the specialized development of Hall Spars battens and end fittings whilst streamlining the ordering and sales process.
Hall Spars & Rigging NZ design manager Matthew Stuart says having such an “accomplished technical yachtsman” on the team will take their products to another level.
“Brad’s professionalism and commitment will soon show in the further development of the batten range,” he says.
The benchmark set for delivering quality service across all Hall Spars & Rigging NZ products will remain at the highest standard for the HCB Programme and Custom Projects.
“Our ability to control the quality and manufacturing process gives us the assurance of a premium quality product every time,” he says.
As the brand develops Marsh says they plan to standardize the range to suit market demands.
“We look forward to working on various projects across a wide range of customers. Our products will be developed to suit any kind of yacht from sports boats right through to TP52s and superyachts.”
