I just learned of the passing of Meade Gougeon today.

As I noted a few years ago here at brother Jan’s passing, they basically invented modern boat building.
I did have the priviledge of speaking with him at several MACM marine composites conferences and also at IBEX conferences. The photo was 2009 IBEX I think. Miami.
I remember the first multihull symposium that I went to, I think that it was 1976 and the West boys were there !!!
