Mari-Cha III 44.7m ketch, from construction through to commissioning and 28,000 Nm as the Chief Engineer. Including the successful Atlantic record in 1998.
 


To whom it my concern:                                                        March 2002

Re: Reichel‑Pugh Baltic 147' performance sloop
Mr John D Saunders was employed on a consulting basis from October 2001 through March 2002.

As Captain and Project coordinator I felt it was of great importance that we involved experienced people in the design and engineering of such a complex and groundbreaking vessel.

From the very onset of John's work we were able to pin point areas that required further thought, perhaps most notably in the hydraulic system and sail handling department. John's ability to combine his high level of sailing expertise with his well qualified engineering background made him a most valued addition to the team. His attitude and thoroughness in his work was remarkable and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him in the future.
