You can say that again….Phill is an extremely giving person. I have had numerous e-mail communications with him as well as some very stimulating phone calls dealing with catamaran design and timber construction methods.

He “IS” the secret weapon of the F-16 class (and probably with the new F-14 class too)…While most other classes say …here buy this and come race with us…the F-16 class with the help of Phill can say here buy this, this, or this….or you can build your own, and here is the design and the method.

While I know his heart is firmly in sailing and boat building for the love of it, I wish him much commercial success with the Blade design that he co-developed.

Thank you Phill for all the time and energy you pour into this sport.
Wouter, you showed great foresight when hooking up with extraordinary individual at the dawn of the F-16 class…
