FOILFAST Partners With Vakaros

FOILFAST Announces Strategic Partnership with Vakaros

We are excited to announce a new partnership with Vakaros, the industry leader in digital sailing instruments. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in elevating the performance, accessibility, and data-driven development of WASZP sailors across the continent.

Known for its cutting-edge Atlas series of instruments, Vakaros has revolutionized sailing performance analytics, combining ultra-accurate GPS tracking, inertial measurement, and real-time data display into a single, sleek device. The partnership will provide WASZP sailors with exclusive access to Vakaros systems, resources, and technical support, enhancing everything from training sessions to race-day strategy.

“WASZP is about pushing the boundaries of performance in a fun, accessible, and community-driven environment,” said Tyler Bjorn, North American Class Manager. “Vakaros shares that same DNA. Their commitment to innovation and sailor development aligns perfectly with our vision to make the WASZP the dominant foiling class in the Americas.”

Nicholas Draper, Founder of FOILFAST and North American Distributor for WASZP, shared his excitement about the partnership: "At FOILFAST, we’re always looking for ways to elevate the sailing experience for our community, and this partnership with Vakaros does exactly that. WASZP sailors are data-driven athletes who thrive on precision, and the Vakaros Atlas is the gold standard when it comes to performance tracking. Integrating this technology into our class events and training sessions is a game-changer and it makes foiling more accessible, more competitive, and more fun. We’re thrilled to bring this level of innovation to sailors across North America."

Through this collaboration, WASZP events in North America will increasingly feature Vakaros-supported coaching tools, analytics dashboards, and live data integration, creating a more dynamic experience for sailors, coaches, and fans alike. Race organizers will also benefit from streamlined scoring and tracking tools further modernizing the WASZP racing circuit.

As part of this development FOILFAST will take on the role of distributor for the entire line of Vakaros products including charters and event rentals for regatta organizers and venues.
