After completing SoftBank Team Japan’s team base in Bermuda, Giant Containers proved to be a leader in container modification and have already cemented themselves as a company working with sailing teams.

Skipper Sandy Macpherson commented, “The container Giant has donated to us will be primarily used for storage, so we can keep most of the standing and running rigging out of the boat during the winter. It will also double as a workshop during the Spring when we finish the maintenance we have planned for O Canada.
