Designing Boats that are Fit for Purpose

John Welsford

A presentation given by John Welsford at our 2021 AGM

We were privileged to have the well known boat designer, John Welsford, talking to members of the DCA  following our AGM on 13th February 2021. John joined us from New Zealand via Zoom  and we are delighted to  be able to share his talk with you and the extensive question and answer session which followed.   In his talk John covers the important features he takes into account when designing boats that are fit for purpose and in particular dinghies that are fit for cruising.
