“I’ve sailed thousands of miles with Artie and he is one of the finest sailors around. We’ve sailed together from dinghies to super maxi’s and Artie can do it all. He’s learned all my tricks and I’m proud of all his success as a grand prix navigator.

But where I really rely on him these days is his expertise in marine electronics. I always recommend Artie first to sailors looking for marine electronics expertise, especially on high end performance and superyacht projects. When I start sailing on a new boat for a serious long term client I always have Artie come on board and reconfigure/fine tune the system so its up to our mutual high standards. He always impresses the boat captain/owner so much that he gets another long-term client. On the recent new-builds that I’ve been involved in (Rambler88, J Class Svea) I always make sure Artie gets involved.

Artie’s my marine electronics guru.”

“I have worked with Artie Means on several high-profile campaigns. His work is of a high standard and his knowlege as a racing navigator himself means that the advice he is able to provide remains on the leading edge. He knows the gear that will fulfil the needs of the client and, most importantly, that is reliable. I continue to work with Artie and have no hesitation in recommending him and his team.”
