Ricard Teixido
Ricard tiene una amplia experiencia en Arquitectura Naval e Ingeniería Civil con una Maestría en Ingeniería de compuestos. Sus diseños reflejan una intuición que comparte con el difunto, gran Ben Lexan. Perfectamente equilibrada entre el arte y la ciencia para producir eficiente, poderoso casco formas con un distintivo de la entrada y la multa para reducir los destellos en el agua limpia y desviar la pulverización de la cubierta y la tripulación. Ricard ha avanzado de que goza el éxito de la campaña de su propio construido y diseñado yate ahora a disfrutar de su familia en crecimiento con el reciente nacimiento de su segundo hijo.
Tim Harrold
Tim creció en carreras y perder el tiempo con los barcos en el puerto de Sydney; de esquifes de Maxis que está lejos de ser nunca el agua. Como el antipodean socio, que mezcla sus antecedentes profesionales de la vela y Diseño Industrial para producir innovadores y soluciones funcionales de los diseños de la cubierta a las otras innumerables facetas del proceso de diseño de yates. Básicamente, Ricard hace ir rápido y Tim hace lucir bien! Apasionado por las carreras y el estado del medio ambiente, que en la actualidad son mutuamente excluyentes espera desarrollar proyectos futuros que se creará un cambio radical ..

Filosofía de diseño
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
'Doing the most with the least' to paraphrase Bucky Fuller -our design philosophy is about efficiency, simplicity and form. Design is all about compromise and delivering the best possible result to fulfill the clients brief and exceeding their expectations. We don't want to be the biggest or best studio -big is cancer. We just want to do 'ordinary things, extraordinarily well' as Glenn Murcutt would put it. To design great yachts that fulfill their comfort or speed objective on a modest budget.
One of the the most exciting and creative parts for us is the initial design meeting with the client whether a race team or a solo yachtsman and creating the most radical concepts. Then within the design brief refining our ideas down to a realistic concept that is simple in execution and feasible to build. Great boats require great clients and that on-going relationship is very important to us. We look forward to meeting or hearing from anyone with a passion for sailing and desire to win. Or if you just want to cruise around at least ensure you arrive in style!
Happiness is the promise of beauty.

Futuro
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The future for us is going to require radical change. We want to continue to play boats, but not at the detriment and ultimate cost of future generations. That is why we are now researching and taking steps to build our designs from non-petrolum based materials which is currently not possible as the weapon of choice is carbon fibre and epoxy resin. The latter being carcinogenic to boatbuilders and all living organisms.
There will be some compromise required for lightweight construction, but ultimately handicap systems must also begin to penalise the actual environmental footprint of the boat and crew -not just arbitrary figures and hull measurements. Despite the terrible amount of 'green washing' that is occurring in the marine industry, pop-culture and most other industries, it is an indication that the winds are changing. That race organisers and media are finally taking the environment seriously and making steps to change the way we will eventually build boats and think about the way the West lives.
As part of this concern, we are mounting a new collaboration called bionicboats, which will emerge from the green wash as a truly sustainable way to build performance boats and preserve the environment we so much love to sail in.
Stay tuned...
"On an ancient wall in china, where a brooding Buddha blinks
deeply graven is the message 'it is later than you think'.
The clock of life is wound but once and no one has the power
to tell just when the clock will stop at late or early hour
so now is all the time you own, the past a golden link
so go sailing now my brother, it is later than you think."
