Design
The first time Ed Dubois designed a yacht it won the British Trials for the Three Quarter Ton Cup, the RORC Class IV overall prize and the Solent Points Championship. In its first year.
That was 1976 and the boat was Borsalino Trois. It attracted enough attention to launch both a racing career for Ed and a business in Dubois Naval Architects; acknowledged today as one of the World's foremost yacht design houses. Next, Police Car led the way to winning the Admiral's Cup for Australia in 1979 and we went on to design a string of boats which won events throughout the world in the '80's and 90's: The Fastnet Race, Sydney to Hobart, Southern Cross Cup, Sardinia Cup, China Sea Race Series and numerous world Championships.
Commissions for production boats followed racing success and then in 1985 we started work with an owner who wanted something 'different'. The result was Aquel II a 120 foot (37 metre) cruising yacht which turned heads wherever she went. We developed new winches, a discreet ventilation system and a new sleek superstructure. Here was a boat which was not only technically advanced but also beautiful and original. This innovation led to a string of unique vessels which, true to our racing principles, are always very fast.
And we believe in close communication with not only our client but with the builder and all those involved in the boat from commission to launch. Today we're still moving forward. Planning, designing and styling the world's finest yachts.
