Who We Are
Who We Are: Martin van Breems is the head of Sound Sailing and president of MVB Inc., the manufacturer of Dutchman sailboat hardware, including the Dutchman Sail Flaking System. Martin is a lifelong sailor with many offshore passages and has sailed one of the most difficult competitions in the world, a single-handed race from Plymouth, England, to Newport, R.I. He came in second in his division. Almost 70% of the participants dropped out due to difficult conditions. Read the entire story at www.oceannavigator.com (alex to send link) Martin’s father, Arie van Breems, was a key person in the sailboat business from the late 50’s to the 80’s, responsible for such boats as the Block Island 40. The history of the early fiberglass boats is recounted in Dan Spurr’s excellent boat ‘Heart of Glass’. We strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in how fiberglass boats came to be.
Wendy van Breems, Martin’s wife, handles customer service, backed up by Phil Walters, a former student and member who now owns a Sabre 362. Wendy grew up in Mystic CT, where she learned to sail on the family Hobie Cat. Her mother, Nan Fox, is a leading real estate agent in the Mystic area. (www.randallrealtors.com/nancyfox ) Wendy’s father, Frank Fox, owns the leading foreign car service center in Mystic, Riverside Motors, and also looks after our fleet in Mystic.
Tyler Milliken heads up our Yacht Sales / Brokerage dept. A lifelong sailor who was practically born on the family’s sailboat, Tyler also has years of experience coaching local high school and summer camp program sailing . (tytymill@yahoo.com) "Some of my first memories are of being out to sea on the Maradea. (She was a 40-foot cruising yawl) and by the time I was four I had been all over the world. My best memories are of the long summer days spent fleet racing as a youngster at camp outside of Portland, Maine.” Tyler is a graduate of Furman University in Greenville, SC, and nears completion of a master’s degree from Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT. He comes to us with experience in sales, technical consulting, and business development.
