The people driving data-driven sailing
Behind every millimeter of sail precision is a team of passionate sailors, engineers, and innovators committed to transforming how the world sails.

What sets us apart
How our values transform sailing from intuition to precise performance.

Precision over guesswork
We replace guesswork with precise sail data, so sailors know what makes them fast and how to repeat it.

Empowering every sailor
From casual racers to pros, we make advanced sail insights accessible to help all sailors learn faster and trim with confidence.

Innovating for Advantage
Our unique sail-mounted sensors deliver unmatched accuracy and insights, giving crews a real advantage on the racecourse.

The idea
Thor and Kaarel were racing 29ers but couldn’t match the fastest teams. Kaarel suggested measuring sail trim to find out why.
2021
First steps
Kaarel and Thor teamed up, with Jarl joining to build the first prototype. They thought it’d be a quick project - it wasn’t.
2022
First protoypes
Initial versions used ribbon sensors to track sail shape and twist. Testing began, and the concept proved valuable.
2023
Growth & recognition
Trimsense gained traction through hackathons, community support, and early funding.
2024
Advancing prototype
Switched to LODE technology for better accuracy and durability. Systems reached early adopters.
2025
Scaling up
More and more sailors are adopting Trimsense. The team is expanding the tech and working toward real-time trim optimization.
