Brian Phipps is very well known and respected within the Cat sailing fraternity for his work with catamaran production, catamaran coaching and the development of young sailors to catamarans programs.

In the early 70’s / 80’s he was also involved, alongside Ian Fraser and Panthercraft, the original manufactures, in the development of Dart products, laminating hulls, assembling parts at a time when everything was done on site. Things have changed over time but some of those aspects were well tested and have been reintroduced into the service and support the Windsport team now offer.
