My thoughts goes to Niels' family. Such a loss. I was Niels' neighbor when we were growing up in Denmark. He was the older kid and my big hero. I will never forget him.

Niels' light is still burning in his wonderful design work and in our fine memories of him. Lighting a candle is the appropriate symbolism. Shine on, Niels!

Neils was as great an educator as he was and architect-- Constantly giving tips on parts and maintenance , and sails for my 1961 Alden. In spite of his remarkable skill and success as a naval architect, he was quite modest and generous with his time and advice.

I am sorry to hear of the loss. I met Niels in 1986 or so while I worked for Nelson Mead. We spent time working on a design and still like to look at the lines and blue prints. Niels was very kind and as a young captain I was amazed by the design process and his knowledge. Brett Carlson

I am sorry to hear of the loss of this great man. I learned a great deal from him during the reconstruction of the Alden Schooner Summerwind. He was a great yacht designer, and a good friend. My condolences to his family. Fair Winds Niels.

I am so undone to discover that Niels has left us. I value his friendship and the rich experience of working with him will never leave me. His role as advisor and friend will never be replaced and it will l take a considerable amount of time to reconcile this unexpected and sad news. I am so sorry for your loss. Phin Sprague Jr.
