Wyspa Technologies LLC

What Wyspa Technologies LLC does

Wyspa Technologies LLC is a private, founder-led 4-person naval architecture and marine engineering firm headquartered in Newport, Rhode Island. The company provides design, engineering, and consulting services focused on high-performance racing sailing yachts, with a service portfolio spanning rating optimization under IRC, ORC, and ORR handicap rules, 3D hull scanning, composite structures design, hydrodynamic analysis, and appendage design. The technical team is composed of three Webb Institute graduates in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering, led by founder Casey Brown (who also trained at the IYRS Composite Technician Program and won first prize from the International Hydrofoil Society for thesis work on hydrofoil fluid-structure interactions), plus an office manager handling administrative duties.

The business model is primarily project-based professional services delivered through direct client engagement with yacht owners, racing teams, boat builders, and marine-technology companies. Revenue is generated on a per-engagement basis for services such as polar generation, trial certificates, structural design, and FEA analysis. The company supplements service revenue with a small direct-to-consumer e-commerce line, selling a branded microfiber Changing Poncho at $50 per unit. The firm operates through a partner ecosystem: CJR Composites handles fabrication, Bravolab (Philip Steggall) provides laminate design expertise via the Vectorlam program, and the company maintains a portfolio of marquee projects including the Weatherly 12 Metre restoration, 500+ UFO Foiling Dinghies and 300+ Rocket Dinghies for Fulcrum Speedworks, and structural design work for Regent Craft's electric boat program.

Wyspa Technologies operates as a privately held LLC with no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue figures. The company markets primarily through its professional website and direct industry relationships, and its 2023 divestiture of the consumer hydrofoil venture Inde Foils (sold to Fliteboard) refocused the business on its core professional services and composite structures work.
