We like safe and comfortable sailing
You don’t often get the chance to combine the things you truly love. At Made, we’re fortunate to unite our passions for sailing and engineering — and turn them into what we do every day.
Made Systems was founded by Johan Mulder, originally trained as an architect. For 15 years, he worked in the oil and gas industry — from equipment designer to project manager, and eventually as COO of the family business. But at the age of 40, Johan made a bold change. He decided to dedicate his time to the things that truly inspire him: entrepreneurship, design, engineering, and freedom.
What started as a design and engineering company soon took a new course. By coincidence — or perhaps destiny — an old love resurfaced: sailing. This led to the acquisition of Romar Leisure Furl, marking the beginning of a new chapter and a redefined mission — one focused on innovation, safety, and the pure joy of sailing.
Johan and his family spent two years blue water cruising, gaining first-hand experience of what sailors really need at sea. That experience flows directly into every furling system we design. We’re not the match-racing type — we don’t remove toilets to save a few grams or drain water tanks to gain speed. We simply love to cruise, explore, and enjoy the world under sail, knowing that when the weather turns, our systems make it possible to furl safely and bring everyone back to shore in comfort.
Our mission
Our mission is simple: to design reliable furling systems for all sailors — for couples, families, and solo adventurers who value safety, simplicity, and peace of mind.
At Made, we keep sailing comfortable and safe.
See you out there on the water.
