We offer bespoke hull design packages for a project’s individual requirements, from classic long keeled designs to high speed planing hulls.

Using the very latest design technology we integrate the powering, positioning and stabilising requirements into an uncompromised set of lines based on over 80 years of proven hull designs.

For refits or conversions we can modify the existing hull lines for increases in length, enhanced stability or seakeeping. For a new build we optimise the hull lines for stability, speed and seakeeping whilst meeting the requiements of the general arrangement.

Cost effective small scale tank testing can be undertaken in-house before a more substantial large scale test program is undertaken.

Whether it is a full design or design advice we are on hand to impart our wealth of knowledge.
