* An avid supporter and sailor in the J/80 class, Kerry Klingler, was recently appointed J/Boat Team director at Quantum Sails.
Kerry is a past J/80 World and North American Champion. Quantum Sail
Design Group has established a new J/Boat Division, which will focus on
expanding the company’s line of J/Boat sails and providing support for J
sailors worldwide (photo here of Nextel Spanish World Champion team).
Another expert J/24 and J/Boat sailor, Ed Reynolds, President of Quantum
Sail Design Group says the focus reflects the company’s commitment to
serving one of the largest and most active sailing communities in the
world. “We recognize the loyalty J/Boat owners have for their brand and
their interest in high-performance sails backed by the greatest level of
expertise and support. We believe J/Boat owners deserve this level of
dedication to their sailing needs and with our already strong track
record we are uniquely positioned to provide it.” Noting Klingler’s
experience in sail design for J Boats, Reynolds adds, “Kerry’s designs
have been very well received and highly successful; he will be bringing
this expertise to the Quantum family, helping us expand our product
offering. We already have an incredibly talented J/Boat team with reps
who are very active and successful in the J/Boat one-design classes.
This year, Quantum sails have won the J/22, J/24 and J/80 World
Championships. Under Kerry’s leadership, we will have even more product
depth, a stronger support focus and a greater presence on the water.”
In addition to Klingler, this Division includes Terry Flynn (Quantum
Seabrook), Tim Healy (Quantum Newport) Scott Nixon (Quantum Atlantic)
and Nic Bol (Quantum Holland), all winners of multiple J Boat National
and World Championships. Klingler says he’s excited about the
opportunity to collaborate with this team of J/Boat experts noting,
“Quantum has assembled an accomplished group of J Boat sailors and has
great technological resources." Klingler’s J/80 sails have won three of
the last four North American Championships. Klingler’s sail designs in
the J/105, J/109 and J/122 classes have also enjoyed great success
including the J/109 North American Championship, the J/122 IRC National
Championship and top finishes in seven major J/105 regattas this season.
