About
Design Philosophy
Wyspa Technologies was born from a desire to further the field of racing sailboat design and develop closer integration between design, construction, and testing. The company is firmly rooted in practical, hands-on composite building experience upon which engineering solutions are developed. Projects are approached with exacting attention to detail to provide clients with clear, useful, and accurate solutions. An emphasis on developing skills and technology is employed to keep pushing Wyspa Technologies forward.

Casey grew up sailing and racing in Narragansett Bay at the epicenter of the racing culture that Newport is known for. He developed an early understanding of composites while attending the IYRS Composite Technician Program before graduating from Webb Institute with a degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. He coauthored a senior thesis on Fluid Structure Interactions of CV Hydrofoils that was awarded first prize by the International Hydrofoil Society. Casey spent two years working on a variety of naval architecture projects for Sparkman and Stephens before stepping away to focus on developing Wyspa Technologies. Currently he leads all design and engineering projects and races kite foils in his spare time.
