F18 Design: Who is Martin Fischer?

Now that the beachcat community is mesmerized by the new Hobie F18, I tried to gather more info regarding her designer beyond being the Capricorn mastermind along with Greg Goodall of AHPC:
“Dr. Martin Fischer, Phd in fluid dynamics. Martin is a renowned expert in the field of high performance multihull design and the optimisation of
appendices. He has been a member of the design team for Groupama-2 and Groupama-3 and he was in charge of the development of the appendices for
the ORMA-60 trimaran Banque Populaire and the maxi trimaran Sodebo. Furthermore he designed the Capricorn, an innovative Formula-18 catamaran
that won the world championship in 2006″
