THE NETHERLANDS LOFT

The Dutch Onesails dealership will handle the transportation and dedicated servicing of sails internally.

In line with the phylosophy of the OneSails organisation the Holland branch will use a network of NEXT GENERATION OF SAILING PROFESSIONALS, to service its clients.

Pieter Houting: Having started his career as a financial analyst in the City of London, followed by founding his own headhunting firm, Pieter started to develop real estate at the turn of the Millenium. After selling this business in the beginning of 2008 he could turn all his attention to his greatest passion - after his family - : sailing. His family swan 65 ‘PEAK’, with hull nr 1, has since been seen on many regatta’s in the Mediterranean. 2008 was also the year he came in touch with Onesails. Having analysed the different suppliers and their products and services, he decided for a full set of Millenium Racing sails for his Swan. After 2 years of complete satisfaction en enthousiasm for all what Onesails stands for: Superior technological sails, and unsurpased service, he has now set up the Dutch dealership of Onesails, combining his business interests with his sailing passion.

Steven Beers: Sailed on dinghy's, traditional racing barches with his father and has been teaching sailing since the age of 14. Had his first yachting-experience on the beautifully classic "PINTA M", an S&S ’41. Later Steven became tactician in the competitive IRC 1 class on "RECKLESS" (MM '40) and “BIERKAAI”, (Lutra 40). After his study Mechanical Engineer, he became a professional skipper in the Caribbean for 1,5 years.  Back in Holland, he started his career in business consultancy. In 2002 he bought "Bierkaai", competing every race there is to compete in IMS 1. He got awarded for Line Honours, first in class 1 and first overall at the Challenge Cup. Became 3rd in the RORC North Sea Race. Steven first sailed on "PEAK" in the the Giraglia and the Rolex Swan Cup in 2010. That's when he was introduced to Onesails. And impressed by the quality compared to what he was used to in de Dutch ORC, IMS and IRC fleet. 6 months later, 1 March 2011, he joined Onesails NL to say goodbye to his 9-to-5 career!

Gerwin Jansen: an enthousiastic sailer throughout his sport management studies, Gerwin has joined Onesails Nederland since he returned from Curacau, where he worked as a youth race sail trainer. Before that he worked as Rating Officer at the KNWV -the Dutch Royal Sailing Association - , for which he attended many international ORC and ISAF congresses.
