Persson Marine and Jan Persson

Jan Persson had a long tradition in Snipe sailing and building. Back in the nineties Jan Persson came out with his newest design of the Snipe. Upon today his design were the reference for the boat builders of today. He also developped a new mast, the Teardrop, it’s succes has been proven at multiple championships.

A continuous production of the Snipe masts and rigging are crucial for the Snipe class and the “Serious sailing and Serious fun” community. Bearing that in mind, the production of the Sidewinder and Teardrop masts was moved to Belgium in September 2016.

A number of concerns such as his age, the continuity of the availability, but also the high employee costs in Denmark made him consider to transfer the production.

Due to the strong relationship we built over several years at multiple Snipe events, combined with our youth, insights, and passion for Snipe sailing, Jan Persson felt confident in placing his full trust in us to take over the production.
