August 11, 2008, League City, Texas - Third Coast Composites is proud to announce that a new Series Mini Transat boat, designed by Pierre Rolland, is now being built on North America. The first boat will be infused this August and subsequent boats will be available starting in the fall of 2008.

Being an entrepreneur, Sam decided that he would go into business building a Series Mini Transat boat in North America the necessary ingredients to succeed where others had struggled or failed.
