We are pleased to announce the addition of Martin St. John as our newest Sail Consultant at Quantum Sails Newport.
Martin brings a lifelong connection to the water and a diverse background spanning marina management, yacht brokerage, and competitive racing across New England, the Caribbean, and Australia. From racing Club 420s and PHRF fleets to crewing aboard Newport’s iconic 12-Metres, Intrepid and Weatherly, Martin’s hands-on experience spans everything from local one-design fleets to classic keelboats.
"We couldn't be more excited to have Martin join us here in Newport," said Dawn Mello, New England Regional Manager. "He's got exactly the kind of well-rounded sailing background, from one-design to keelboats, that makes for a truly great sail consultant. Martin knows these boats, he knows these waters, and most importantly, he knows what sailors need. This is a fantastic addition to our team."
The strategic hire reflects a broader push by Quantum to elevate on-the-ground support and deepen connections with regional clients.
"Growing our presence in key areas like Newport requires finding individuals who aren't just knowledgeable, but who are deeply embedded in the local fabric," says Kris Werner, Director of Eastern US Sales for Quantum. "Adding top talent like Martin allows us to build a more robust team capable of delivering highly personalized service right where our clients need us most."
"Our focus is on assembling a team that brings both elite competitive experience and a true passion for our client success," adds Jason Currie, USA Sales Manager. "Bringing Martin on board strengthens our commitment to the Northeast region and ensures we are providing the high level of expertise and hands-on guidance."
Please join us in welcoming Martin to the Quantum team!
