Modern Sailing Yachts

Production yachts are recognisable by their details rather than their outline. Keel and rudder profile, coachroof and cockpit layout, sail number, class insignia, cove line and hull graphics are what identify a specific boat, and those are what we take care over.

What we need from you

The make, model and year, plus photographs. From that we can usually establish the rest from class drawings and builder specifications. If the boat has been modified, a different keel, a taller rig, an added arch or solar panels, tell us and those go into the build. For one-off or custom yachts, the naval architect’s drawings give the best result.

Occasions these mark

• A first yacht, or a boat being sold on
• A completed passage, season or circumnavigation
• Club and class association presentations
• Retirement gifts and departing skipper awards

Rig and finish

Standing and running rigging is built to scale, with cloth sails set or furled, or carved sails where the model needs to withstand handling. Hulls are finished in the yacht’s own colour with a correct antifouling line. Overall height is driven by the mast, so tell us the display space before the scale is agreed.

Common questions

Can you build a standard production yacht?

Yes, and most commissions here are exactly that, built to the owner’s specific boat including sail number and name.

Can you show her under sail?

Yes. Set sails on a waterline base with a shaped sea suit a desk or shelf piece.
