Phillip is a lifetime catamaran sailor and racer. He grew up racing Hobie Cats in California in the late 1960's and published his first book on catamaran racing at the age of seventeen - Multihull Racing The Hobie Cats (Sea Publications, NY.). He went on to write many more books on the subject, including the best-selling catamaran training manual of all time - Catamaran Sailing From Start to Finish (W.W. Norton, NY.) As a graduate student at Harvard he represented the U.S. in numerous international sailing races and was the Hobie Cat World Champion in 1979 and 1980. In addition to racing small cats, he has raced and cruised much larger multihulls all over the world, including his own 41 foot offshore racing catamaran, Spectris.
