Designer's Comments

Our usual method of working together is to start with a model that Pete has built. We modify that hull to fit the new requirements, changing depth, freeboard, station spacing, etc. To the modified hull, I then add the deckhouse and interior arrangement and work out powering, tanks, and analyze the weights and balance of the boat.

As a designer, working with high quality custom builders such as Pete is always rewarding. Together, we can work through compromises, and I always have complete confidence in the outcome.
