WASZP and Sailmon: Partnership announcement

The WASZP class is joining forces with Sailmon in a new partnership that looks to take the sailor experience to the next level.

WASZP is the world’s most popular foiling boat and a class that prides itself on providing the best experiences in the sport for sailors of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. It is all about creating an environment that gets as many people as possible on the water and loving sailing. The exciting product, dedicated agent network and world-class events program have given rise to massive racing fleets and created a positive class culture that can’t be found anywhere else in the sport.

For many, foiling is a new and exciting challenge. It has proven to be an amazing way of bringing new people into the sport and reigniting the spark for existing sailors by adding a whole new dimension to the game. The WASZP has proven to be the most affordable and accessible option for sailors to take the step into foiling and as such, the number of WASZP sailors around the world continues to surge. WASZP and Sailmon are working together to help the growing global community of WASZP sailors get the most out of their time on the water.

Sailmon is a world-leading manufacturer of electronic instruments for wind sports. Their new product, the Sailmon MAX, is a revolutionary device and the number one choice for dinghy and foiling sailors everywhere. For sailors in the WASZP class, the MAX will become an invaluable tool for learning to sail the boat as much as it will be for fine tuning the skills of the fleet’s top-end racers.

Sailors are more eager than ever to record their sessions, log their speeds and analyse their performances on the water. Historically WASZP sailors have been some of the most proactive on this front, regularly seeking out the most effective ways to review their sessions, capture the thrill of the boat and share their learnings openly with the community for the overall benefit of the class. The Sailmon MAX gives sailors the chance to record even more of this valuable data with the highest degree of accuracy from a single device, benefitting racers and beginners alike. Here are some of the key features:

Speed: live GPS speed with 25hz updates, offering the most precise feedback on the market.

Starting: log the start line position within 0.3m of accuracy to ensure you nail the start every time.

Heel and pitch: providing a better understanding of your boat for better speed, height, stability and manoeuvres.

Shift tracking: helping you to choose the best course to the next mark with lift and header detection

Replay: review your data, compare with friends and monitor your goals.

As a partnership, WASZP and Sailmon are working together to benefit sailors across the whole fleet by helping to improve top-end performances and by making the transition into foiling easier and smoother for first timers. Utilising the MAX, WASZP racers will be able to hone their skills and achieve the best results every time they hit the water. They can also challenge their peers to virtual races from anywhere in the world via the WASZP RaceHub and Sailmon GPS platforms. For newcomers to the class, the feedback on speed, pitch and heel will speed up the learning process for manoeuvres and fast track sailors’ understanding of how to get the best from the WASZP so that they spend more time foiling and less time swimming in the early stages!

“Just like us at WASZP, Sailmon is an innovative brand that always puts the needs of the sailor first and I can’t wait to see where this collaboration takes us. The MAX is an unreal product, so we are really excited to team up with Sailmon and help to move the sport forward by giving sailors the tools they need to be able to make the most of their time on the water”, says Martin Evans, WASZP Class Manager.

To celebrate the launch of the partnership, WASZP is running a worldwide GPS competition – the Sailmon Speed Challenge - where the fastest WASZP on the water will win the awesome prize of a Sailmon MAX! The competition launches on today (Wednesday 27 April) and will run until midnight UTC on 31 May. WASZP sailors can enter the competition here.
