Vakaros, a maker of small-boat instrumentation and race management tech, announced today its acquisition of Sailmon Instruments from North Technology Group. All Sailmon Element products will continue to be supported under Synapse, a Future Fibres brand.

“We welcome the Sailmon community to our family,” Jake Keilman, Vakaros co-founder, said in a statement. “We’ve worked adjacent to the brand for years and witnessed their innovations on the water. Sailmon customers are passionate sailors, and we look forward to ensuring they’re well taken care of for the foreseeable future.”

Vakaros entered the sailing instrumentation market in 2018. Its RaceSense technology has been used at hundreds of events worldwide.
