LaserPerformance Partners with Simon Cooke to launch Infused Foils globally

 

LaserPerformance announced today that its parent company Full Moon Holdings, will partner with Infused Foils.  Infused Foils is led by Simon Cooke and is known world-wide for producing high performance centerboard’s and rudders for a variety of products including the Optimist, i420 and Olympic level 470. 

This acquisition will allow LaserPerformance to offer their customers the very best foils on the market regardless of the boat they sail.  “I am very excited about the addition of Simon to the LaserPerformance family.  Simon has done groundbreaking work in developing innovative foils.  Having him on board is a great asset,” said Devin Kelly, President of LaserPerformance.

For his part, Simon Cooke was equally pleased with the new relationship.  “LaserPerformance is the world leader in small boat sailing.  It’s a great opportunity for me to showcase the technology and processes we have developed to a broader audience.  We both share a commitment to sailing and the sailor, and I have great confidence that we will bring exciting new products to the market”.

Production has already begun on a brand new manufacturing facility.  The new Infused Foils will begin appearing on LaserPerformance boats shortly and will be rolled across the product line over the course of the next six to twelve months.
