Meet the Team: Eddie Bridle

Role: Eddie Bridle is the UK manager for Elvstrom Sails with VMG. Based in our flagship office in Hamble Point Marina Eddie offers plenty of knowledge about Elvstrom sails and boat rigging / set up.

About Eddie:
Day to day Eddie is providing quotes, meeting clients and assisting with all things Elvstrom Sails. Being a keen sailor if Eddie isn’t in the office he can usually be found on the water helping clients with their boats or out racing. You will usually find him out racing his Musto Skiff, Moth or for a change of pace his Sonata. He’s been fortunate enough to race in some of the sailing hot spots in the world - Sydney, Lake Garda, France and of course the UK. Since a young age Eddie has raced in national and world circuits, winning his first nationals age 12. He knows a thing or two about how to make a boat go fast

Sailing Highlights:

• Musto Skiff European Champion 

• Moth National Champion
  

• Musto Skiff Youth World Champion  
  

• 18ft Skiff National Champion

Off the Water:
When he’s not helping customers find the perfect kit, Eddie can be found (e.g., tinkering with boats, cheering on junior sailors, or planning his next sailing adventure). He’s always happy to chat gear, racing tactics, or the latest wind forecast.

Eddie’s Top VMG Tip:
"Always invest in good base layers — staying warm and dry is the first step to staying fast and focused!"
