“North Sails is the industry and technology leader with their constant innovation and development” Touet commented. “North Sails understands their clients’ needs, whether they be Grand Prix racers, Superyacht owners, cruisers or One Design enthusiasts. I am looking forward to working with Gautier and the entire North Sails team to continue the success the brand saw under the direction of Greg Evrard.”
“Philippe’s combined sailing and management experience make him an ideal fit for our business and company culture,” says Sergent. “His charismatic personality, as well as his deep knowledge of the industry, convinced us that he was the best candidate to help take North Sails France forward.
