Vakaros, the world leader in small boat instrumentation and race management technology, is pleased to announce the acquisition of Sailmon, a premier brand of sailing instruments. This strategic acquisition strengthens Vakaros' commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions for sailors worldwide while enhancing customer service and technical support.

The acquisition of Sailmon marks a new chapter for both companies. Under Vakaros, Sailmon's existing MAX customers will continue to receive the same world-class customer support they expect. North Technology Group will continue to support all Sailmon ELEMENT products under Synapse, a Future Fibres brand.

"We welcome the Sailmon community to our family," commented Vakaros Co-Founder Jake Keilman. "We've worked adjacent to the brand for years and witnessed their innovations on the water. Sailmon customers are passionate sailors, and we look forward to ensuring they're well taken care of for the foreseeable future.

We look forward to being stewards of North Technology Group's efforts to elevate the Sailmon brand and use data to drive sailing forward."
