MAES notaries proud sponsor of Team DutchSail – Janssen de Jong

Proud sponsor
MAES Notarissen is a proud sponsor of Team DutchSail – Janssen de Jong. This team is a unique collaboration of leading Dutch sailing organizations and knowledge institutions, supported by a broad base of companies led by main sponsor Janssen de Jong Group. The team competes on behalf of the Netherlands under the auspices of DutchSail, in partnership with Sailing Holland, supported by the Dutch Watersports Association, and registered by the KNZ&RV and KRZV De Maas.

Why does MAES notaries sponsor Team DutchSail – Janssen de Jong
We asked Mr. GHHJ (Geert) Janssen MRE MBA, managing partner and one of the (candidate) civil-law notaries at MAES Civil-Law Notaries: "We recognize the responsibility we bear for our stakeholders: our clients, our employees, suppliers, the government, and the society we are a part of. This applies to both our professional and social responsibilities. Our social responsibility focuses on three themes: governance, a sustainable living environment, and social engagement. We hope to have an impact through these."

"Our social commitment," says Janssen, "entails supporting charities and social organizations. We attach great importance to sports. Sports connect and unite. It requires teamwork. Sports teaches you how to deal with winning and losing. Sports require ambition, practice, lots of practice, and perseverance. Sports contribute to our mental and physical well-being. We are therefore happy to support athletes with the ambition to achieve something special and the clubs that facilitate them in this."

"Team DutchSail – Janssen de Jong, under the inspiring leadership of coach Pieter-Jan Postma, one of the Netherlands' leading figures in sailing, uses this campaign to encourage young talent to achieve great results at the highest level with a very fast, innovative, spectacular, and sustainable boat in this beautiful sporting discipline. That requires talent, a collaborative effort, adaptability, perseverance, and hard work. That's what we like to associate ourselves with at our own office, with its picturesque view of the pleasure yachts and sailing ships. We professionally strive for the very highest possible. We work hard to achieve it. We are dedicated. We are innovative. We are fast and agile. And we do it together. With our team. With our clients. With all our stakeholders. We are good for each other," says Geert Janssen.

Ambitions
Coach Pieter-Jan Postma describes the ambitions as follows: “With this campaign, we want to show that dreams can come true if you demonstrate entrepreneurship, dare to be innovative, and show courage. Many thought it was impossible when we started with a small group and a lot of ambition. But we succeeded; we're all here together. We have our own boat, we have a team of eight super-talented top sailors, and we have a broad base of organizations and companies behind us. In my opinion, this is the way to run a contemporary and future-proof sailing campaign. The Netherlands is a small country, but in sailing, we are big. If we work together and are occasionally willing to step outside our comfort zone, we can create fantastic campaigns. Campaigns that have the potential to compete for the podium. Whether that's in the Youth America's Cup, the America's Cup, an Ocean Race, or the new offshore Olympic sailing discipline. If we do it together as the Netherlands, we can achieve so much.”
