Our History at MAURI PRO SAILING

As we approach our 20th. anniversary we want to start a series of small postings about how we got here and who helped lead us to this point. Obviously we will need to start with the company founder Juan Mauri, but not before mentioning that Mauri Pro Sailing has grown from a guy selling sails to pay his way to regattas to a Multi-national network of sailing websites and stores with customers, friends and affiliations worldwide.

About Juan Mauri 

Juan is a passionate sailor, always looking forward to talk with other sailors about sail trim, deck layouts, racing techniques and more. He is the President and Business Director of Mauri Pro Sailing and active supporter of many US and international one design classes and sailing organizations.

Juan Mauri is a world-class one-design sailor and our racing guru. He has been a sail consultant since 1991 for several sail makers. While living in South America, Juan won over (??? Read contest below) national titles in IMS, J-24 and Lasers. He represented his native country Peru in the Pan American Games and won the South American Match Racing Championships. In 1999, he moved to the United States. Since then, he has won many International, North Americans and NOOD Regattas. Using the techniques he developed as the MPS formula for success and the 1% approach to sailboat racing, Juan lead several teams to winning campaigns and successful businesses. Juan remains active running seminars, sail testing, and working on brand development. He also enjoys doing crazy things like: Shark Diving, getting rid of his car racing/driving bug, and going over and over about trekking all the way up to Mount Everest Base Camp (plus who knows what else).

From the business point of view, Juan is tireless about searching for new, better ways to serve the sailing community and sailors worldwide. We are sure that the Mauri Pro Sailing websites reflect that effort, and that the crew of Mauri Pro Sailing keeps pushing forward every day to become an even better team so that we can deliver the best Technical Support and e-tools available to sailors worldwide. 

Note: Juan's background in industrial & textile design and e-commerce focus has helped him on the analysis of better sails, trimming techniques, sail hardware, and deck selection guides. Juan is not only a creative sailor, but also a natural teacher. He is available to take your questions at any time. 

Contest: Guess how many National and International Regattas Juan has won over the last 33 years and win a Offshore Sailing Jacket. Guess how many times he place 2nd, and we will add the trousers.
