A+T Instruments, leaders in the high-end yacht instruments market, has announced a new partnership with Jim Thom, highly acclaimed sailor, captain and expert on large classic yachts. Jim will help A+T’s continuing growth which is running at 40 percent year on year.
Jim has over 30 years of experience as yacht captain having competed four circumnavigations and years of regatta racing. He is most recently known as the captain of the Fife 19m Class Mariquita built 1911 and then of the schooner Atlantic. He was sailing with Team Fife, Mariqita, Moonbeam III & Moonbeam IV, in the recent Richard Mille regatta in Cowes.
“I’m very happy to have this opportunity to work together with Hugh and the team at A&T. As a professional sailor I admire the build quality evident in A&T instruments and can see that the exceptional performance has been developed through years of experience on the water. I’m continually impressed by the knowledge and passion that drives design at A&T, and the dedication that makes support second to none in the field.
“I’m looking forward to introducing owners and captains in the classic fleet to an outstanding product.”
Hugh Agnew, Director at A+T Instruments said: “We are proud to have Jim supporting A+T’s rapidly growing position at the pinnacle of the instrument market for upgrades and new builds.
