THE SHAPE OF SPEED.

The Designer

A RIGOROUS, METHODICAL APPROACH TO EVERY SAIL.

Since 1993, I have designed sails across the full spectrum — from competitive one-design fleets to complex traditional rigs where forestay loads and configuration demand a careful hand.

Today I combine that design work with coordinating Challenge Sailcloth across Europe, giving the sailmakers I work with direct access to the right materials for each project.
