About Racing Sparrow

What is Racing Sparrow and who is Bryn Heveldt?

When I was nine years old my father, Ross Heveldt taught me to sail down at Bucklands Beach in Auckland. My wee optimist dinghy was called 'The Racing Sparrow', the nickname my uncle Bruce Curry gave to me when I was a small boy. Apparently I had an abundance of energy.

I studied at Whanganui School of Design and have been a designer / developer since 1998. I live in New Zealand.

Best wishes and happy sailing, Bryn Heveldt.

Hallo Bryn,  
ich habe vor Kurzem diese beiden Racing Sparrow RS750 fertiggestellt, was mir wirklich viel Spaß gemacht hat. Es war ein großartiges Projekt und hat mich ein paar Monate lang beschäftigt. Sie hatten eine erfolgreiche Jungfernfahrt, segeln großartig und brauchen jetzt nur noch ein paar Anpassungen im Segelbereich, um noch besser zu segeln. Vielen Dank!
