Quantum Sails the Official Sailmaker for Melges24 Canadian Nationals

by Pamela Miller on 1 May 2017 Quantum Sails has committed to supporting the Canadian Melges24 Class Association’s 2017 Melges24 Canadian National Championship event hosted at the National Yacht Club in Toronto, Canada September 21-24. As the exclusive Official Sailmaker sponsor of the 2017 Melges24 Canadian National Championship, Quantum Sails will be doing daily post-racing debriefs by Quantum Sails pro, Scott Nixon.

Scott has sailed on boats using Quantum Sails to win championships at the world, Gold Cup, European, North American, and national levels. His hands-on approach includes active campaigns and racing in many one-design classes including the Melges24 Class. “Quantum Sails is very excited to be a part of the 2017 Melges24 Canadian Nationals in Toronto. Canada has a fantastic group of Melges24 owners and sailors and we are looking forward to some awesome racing in September. With the upcoming 2018 Worlds in Canada this September is a great time to kick off your Worlds campaign. Quantum is thrilled to be associated with the enthusiastic and talented Canadian Melges24 sailors. Please let us know if we can help your Melges24 sailing program in any way” says Scott.

Quantum Sails’ other roles at the Championship event will be education coordination, individual consultations, and sail repair services. 'Quantum Sails is a dynamic innovative sailmaker and we are honored to have their support of the Canadian Nationals' says Dan Berezin, the Chair of the Organizing Committee for the 2017 Melges24 Canadian National Championship.
