boats were built to a semi-custom style to reflect the new owner's requirements. All models did reflect the common theme of quality and attention to detail. These boats exude a feeling of
nautical history, a traditional comfortable design and a common sense approach to practicality offering good accessibility to systems and a favorable ergonomic, easy living design style.
