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.

AS A CURVE
Before a panel is cut, the sail exists as precise design curves — camber, draft and twist, station by station. Real parameters from a current project.
