TRAILER-SAILER DESIGNS

My designs all have the following features: full size berths, full sitting headroom, galley space, large self-draining cockpit, 'inboard' well for outboard motor, ballasted centreboard fully enclosed in hull when raised, true trailerability, and last but not least - excellent sailing performance.

RACING DINGHY DESIGNS

My design career started with racing dinghies: mainly National Merlin/Rockets (about 110 of them were built), but also National Twelves, International 14s, and the Harrier single-hander. The design portfolio now includes several singlehanders and the latest HAZARDOUS series of Merlin Rockets.
