As custom boatbuilders/ designers we have always relied on you, our customers, to inspire us with new and challenging projects.  Your faith in our knowledge, experience and skill to bring custom designs from paper to reality keeps us busy in the trade we love so well.  The reward for your faith and vision are unique and exceptional watercraft and the pride of having created them. 

 

Now it's our turn to inspire you!

 

Doug has drawn a classically inspired 23' day sailer he's calling SELKIE. We've gradually fallen in love with the design by way of models (computer and wood) plans and calculations. She'll be a lovely thing, with grace in her lines and power in her rig. She'll be simple and responsive to sail with plenty of stability for less white knuckles and more big grins. We've sailed her in our heads on many a winter evening and come to the conclusion that this boat must be built! We'd love to build her for ourselves, but alas, it's not in the cards for us. So we've got to find someone who shares our excitement for SELKIE's potential to bring this exciting new design from concept to reality by commissioning hull # 1.

 

Just in case we can't sway you with plans and models, with examples of our refined detailing and classic aesthetic, and with the strength of our conviction, we've come up with a great deal for the first person to commission a SELKIE. (see below)
