As he gears up for his 2026 season, Singapore kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder has cause for optimism, having spent his first preseason under Swiss coach Matthieu Girolet.
In a positive sign, the 19-year-old won a test event in January for the next World Sailing Championships, which will take place in Fortaleza, Brazil in 2027.
Ahead of his first major event for 2026 - the March 27-April 4 Trofeo Princesa Sofia in Palma, Spain - the two-time world champion is encouraged by the progress he and his team have made over the winter.
Over the last few months, the teenager has been refining various technical aspects with Girolet, whom he began training with in mid-2025.
