Design Services

Nat Benjamin has been designing vessels, from dinghies, to daysailers, to cruising schooners, for more than thirty years. His designs are known for their speed, seaworthiness, practicality and simplicity.

“In my few years of ‘messing about on boats’,” says Nat, “I have tried to include the basic ingredients for safety, speed, and comfort, with a strong emphasis on good looks. I am not concerned with any rating system; I prefer to see men, women and children sailing with a smile. I feel it’s very important to keep an eye on current trends, but not to be influenced by the glitter, only the grace.”
