Inspired by an article in ‘The Engineer’ March 2008 edition about the speed sailing team, l’Hydroptère and their preparations for setting a new world outright sailing speed record, Tim began working on an innovative layout for a sailing boat which has led to the VERNEY speed sailing project and the forming of a passionate and highly motivated team as it stands today. We are achieving a high degree of team efficiency and productivity by keeping the team structure as flat as possible, spreading both responsibility and authority.
