^^ actually -yes a lot to do with racing sail design.

nah, thinking waveboards though

Deadset legend, Had a couple of his slalom boards + one of his wave boards that wave board was fast enough to keep up with slalom dudes but turned on a dime still have it (in my Bro's shed )

George Greenough - before MWsails :-)

Great board design also, his spoon, we used to sail with him quite a bit here in California in the late 80's. But in all that time I only saw one other person use a spoon that he built, his good friend Charlie Coffee. Everything else he built was used mostly only by himself, all of it cutting edge stuff, mostly booms (carbon), masts (carbon and skinny), and sails (dbl luff w/ carbon battens), everything else worked great but was questionable for the mass market.

A few tassie legends
Terry Horton
Liegh Steven
Tony Woods
Nick Stranger

Liegh especially as he was also into foil dynamics in wind and water (back in the 80's)

Marco Copello still shaping I think.
