Mariners and their boats must face the prevailing conditions. Conditions change constantly on all the rivers, lakes, and oceans of the world. Boat lines and construction have developed with these conditions in mind. Entrusting our lives to our boats, boats of all types have always been beautiful as well as strong. Since water follows a fair form without turbulence, the lovely line works for us practically and aesthetically.
Turbulence produces pressure and drag, inhibiting the free motion possible in water.
We use this pressure in steering, but we appreciate the smooth and easy motion of the most beautiful boats. Beautiful classic boats are also most pleasing to the eye. Whether sitting in the cockpit looking along the sweep of the rail or gazing from shore at a harbor filled with classic boats of many types, we appreciate the presence of this vision. People flock to shores everywhere for this experience. Only if we keep building these classic boats will we be able to look at their beautiful lines as well as experience the performance of these great boats on the water.
