# A tradition has started!
On Tuesday after day one of the METS, we held our first **SAIL**MON dinner ever in the appropriate atmosphere of the Amstel Boathouse in Amsterdam. Dealers, suppliers, the **SAIL**MON crew and relations enjoyed a culinary evening. In between the courses, they got to know more about the latest developments at **SAIL**MON, as presented by Chief Design & Development Officer Kalle Coster.
Here are a few reactions from the audience:
**Mitch Booth; double Olympic medalist, multiple World and European champion, offshore sailor and founder of [BlackCat Superyachts](http://www.blackcat-superyachts.com/)**
”*I followed this brand since the early days. With a new project that I am working on, I am going to insist on installing **SAIL**MON. I have seen this evolving into one of the leading players in this field, so I am really excited that we can finally put it on one of our boats. That is going to be one-and-a-half year away, but it is also a project that can perfectly showcase what **SAIL**MON is doing.*”
**Cees van Bladel, [Sailing Innovation Center](http://www.sailinginnovationcentre.nl/)**
”*I am very much charmed about the future plans of **SAIL**MON. At the time, we were the launching customer of the Weather Telemetry, designed by Kalle Coster. He then started **SAIL**MON. We hope to be again the launching partner in the future together with the Dutch Yachting Association.*”
**Maarten Voogd, co-owner of [Simonis Voogd Design B.V.](http://www.simonis-voogd.com)**
”*I think **SAIL**MON offers fantastic products. We have integrated it into one of our last boats. It looks great and it works well. I think that all the developments for the near future are a nice addition to the sailing sport, because of the entire monitoring possibility. It allows you to analyze everything afterwards, whether you are a competitive or a recreational sailor. It is great to be able to relive everything you’ve experienced while sailing. This contributes to the yachting experience.*”
**Constantijn Weber, [SmartRigging](http://www.smartrigging.com/)**
”*What **SAIL**MON brings is beautiful and innovative. It’s a bit like Strava (run and cycling tracking on the social network for athletes), but then for sailing. Many sailors are also cyclists and know the Strava app to keep track of what they are cycling. **SAIL**MON is going to offer the same plus extra functionalities for the sailing sports. I think it is a very nice addition to everything that is already there.*”
Interested in our future plans? Stay tuned, we will unveil more details in the coming months. Or you are welcome to pass by at our METS stand, number 10.709, for more information.
