The
current issue of WoodenBoat magazine has a wonderful article that you won't want to miss entitled "Suitability for Purpose, John Welsford and the art and science of boat design". The article describes John's 30 year history as a boat designer and his design methodology. There are some nice photos taken at Port Townsend and Sail Oklahoma showcasing some of his popular designs, including Scamp #1 and Mike Money's red Scamp, Peter Van Sickle's Penguin
Tenatious, and my Navigator
Ellie. Don't miss it. Congratulations, John, and keep up the good work!
I just received my WB issue Friday and read the article. Very satisfied having chosen his design, the article is a good review of his work. I guess soon everybody will have a navigator, pathfinder or SCAMP built in their own backyard.
