A TRIO OF GREAT NAMES... Dale Nelson has a 50-year boat building track record and is known for exacting build standards of the famous Nelson hull that has been favoured for bespoke build pilot boats and police boats. Clive Jeffrey of South Catamarans Ltd also has 50 years boat building under his belt, producing rugged boats that are purpose designed to suit the needs of clients in a wide range of marine industries. TT Boat Designs has a long standing association with both businesses and was the catalyst for bringing the names together, knowing that both Dale Nelson and Clive Jeffrey share the belief that the ultimate value of a hull is in outstanding levels of sea-keeping and a top quality build....a new force in commercial boat building Mono hulls and catamarans pilot enforcement survey windfarm support fishing ferry superyacht tender 10m 13m catamarans, 7m high speed mono hull and 11 13m Nelson mono hulls built to production designs or design and build of keel-up bespoke designs.

The ability to be at sea in the widest possible range of conditions keeps the balance sheet happy, whilst impeccable standards of ride, handling and stability keep the crew happy and inspire the confidence to maintain operations even in challenging waters.

QUALITY OF BUILD BEGINS WITH DESIGN We see quality as something that should permeate through the entire build process, from the drawing board to the finishing touches. Quality begins with design first and foremost with the hull. We ve already touched on the values of sea-keeping, but choosing a catamaran or Nelson hull designed by TT Boat Designs, you have the reassurance that our boats are designed for purpose. Every aspect of the hull from stem to stern has been honed by decades of experience to exactly match the load the boat is to carry, the speed required and the conditions in which it is expected to operate. Then there is the usability of the boat from fundamentals such as deck layout to details such as positioning of equipment we work with the client to ensure your boat will do everything you ask of it in the most efficient way. Dale quality continues with construction to the most exacting specifications and with the utmost care from our skilled craftsmen... the reassurance of impeccable abilities at sea
