Boat Design Marine Classics design,
test, and build boats as an integrated in-house process.
We also modify other designs for a specific purpose.
We note your initial requirements; then go through a consultation process which can be face to face, or phone, or e mail conversations. At this point preliminary drawings and calculations are made. These are often both hand drawn and computer design. Hand drawing is still better for the 'artistic' part of design - getting the look and style. The computer is better at number crunching in optimising the hull design. Once the design is accepted, we finalise and check it on the computer (For more on this process please click on the plan right). Then we can start to build the boat. |

In-house design
capability gives several major benefits; Firstly it allows us to bring the benefits of modern construction techniques to classic boats - giving a stronger more reliable, safer launch with much lower maintenance requirements than a traditionally built wooden vessel. Secondly it allows for a great deal of flexibliity to suit the customer's requirements. All of our classic boats are custom built to a particular specification. The use of computer aided design allows us to fine tune a launch design to suit - efficiently without a large on-cost. Thirdly it gives us the capability to produce completely unique custom designs in house. A copy of an older classic launch or your own design can be tested on the computer and then made by us. |
Ordering and Delivery Marine Classics boats are not kept in stock like a mass production product. Each one is individually hand built for a particular customer. Therefore there can be a waiting time of several months. The payments are met in
three stages; 25%

delivery.
