Foiling Viper by Goodall Design

I am an undergraduate student in mathematics and computer science from Brisbane, Australia. My areas of interest are in mathematical physics, quantum mechanics and machine learning.

I have been competitively racing catamarans since 2012. In 2022, I made the transition into full hydrofoiling boats. I currently skipper a Viper F16 from Goodall Design as well as the hydrofoil-equipped Foiling Viper on the same platform. I am also part of the crew on a SL33 foiling catamaran that belonged to Emirates Team New Zealand as part of the campaign and training for 34th America's Cup. Notable results include:

  • 2023 Australian Formula 16 Vice-Champion
  • 2023 Australian Formula 18 Youth Champion
  • 2024 Australian NACRA 15 Vice-Champion
