Transfer Season

The latest transfer this season involves Klaas Voget (Fanatic / North / MFC), who after 6 years moves on to a new challenge with a new sail brand for 2016. Read on to here from Klaas:

Klaas Voget on joining the North Sails International Team: “I’m excited to announce that I’m going to be on the North Sails Windsurfing International Team from 2016!

I’m sailing on Fanatic boards since I started windsurfing and with my close relationship with the brand, the relationship to North Sails also got closer and closer over the years, as both brands are working hand in hand within the Boards & More group. We’ve had several talks over the years about this move and for 2016 it was finally the right time. I’m super excited to work with sail designer Kai Hopf and my team mate Victor Fernández on the development of the new wave sails. North has a super professional R&D setup with a loft in Maui and a development centre and headquarters in Germany. New proto-types are built from one week to the next in production standard and we can try new design ideas immediately. The masts, booms and all the accessories are of the highest standards and the best and lightest you can get on the market. I’m really looking forward to becoming part of this team and to push my own sailing and the equipment even further! I’m in Chile right now and already have a bunch of proto-types here for the 2017 development. My first impression is super good, I can’t wait for the wind to return for my next session!

I’d like to thank Simmer Style for their support over the past 6 years, for the opportunity to learn a lot about sail design and for the fun team spirit to all simmer team riders!

Of course I also thank my long term sponsors Fanatic International, CHIEMSEE and ION, who will join me into the next season.”
