The North Sails loft in Fort Lauderdale will merge with the former Doyle Sails East (Fort Lauderdale) loft to consolidate their expertise and personnel, giving sailors in South Florida access to unmatched service and product offering. Under the leadership of North Sails veteran Mike Toppa, the new combined team will be headed by Bob Meagher and Peter Grimm Jr, both hugely respected in the Southeast region.

Meagher, the previous owner of Doyle Fort Lauderdale, will take on the role of Site Manager for Fort Lauderdale and become the Southeast Regional Manager for North Sails. He will be supported by his longtime sales expert Peter Grimm Jr. Based out of the current North Sails loft in South Florida, they will now be able to tap into North's patented in-house software programs and the full spectrum of world-leading products to ensure their customers get the most out of their boats and sails. Now integrated into North's unrivaled global network, sailors in the region will also benefit from a world-class service.
