Sponsors of S/V Lynx

Several companies have chosen to sponsor S/V Lynx
Below is a list of these kind companies. Most of them did not come to us, we sought out contact with their representatives because we wanted to buy and use their gear, then asked if they wanted to sponsor us.  The companies that came to us first aked us give our honest review of the product, without any qualifications.  For many of these products, getting a deal of some kind was just icing on the cake since we needed their product anyway!

Schionning Designs

Schionning Designs gave us a discount on the plans in exchange  for making a video series about building the new Solitaire 1520.  And, later, since we collaborated on the design, they have offered us a commission on each boat sold by our channel.

West System

As required by Schionning Designs, we are using West System epoxy for specific areas of the boat.  Due to shipping issues, we had to source this ourselves.  We contacted West System and they were kind enough to offer to sponsor our boat build with a discount on their epoxy.
