Company History

	Ian Bruce ian@ps2000.ca Ian, best known as the father of the Laser, was twice World Champion in the International 14, two-time Olympic sailor in the Finn and the Star, a Laser District Champion and a North American Champion in the Laser 28 and the Tasar. He has also built 12 International or Recognized Classes (see Company History) and lead the team that drafted the first-ever set of rules (Laser) to be accepted by the ISAF for a manufacturer controlled Class. These rules have been copied by dozens of Classes since but it was his experience in this area that helped the Byte become the first dinghy to receive ISAF Recognized Status. Along the way, he has worked closely with Frank and Julian Bethwaite on several projects including the Tasar, the Laser ll, the 29er and the recently launched 59er, providing the design team with his product design input and experience. He is President of PS2000 and the designer of the Byte.
