Norman Dallimore
During his 45 year career based in Burnham U.K. as a designer he produced 184 designs of which 58 were built, the remaining being competition design or those which failed to "bear fruit". He had an artistic eye so that most of his boats were pretty, having a curved stem, a counter stern and, in between, a proper sheer. He also drew 191 sail plan conversions and hull modifications, and there was also a steady demand for his expertise as a yacht surveyor.

Percy Coverdale
Percy Coverdale of Battery Point Hobart. Renowned builder of large timber fishing vessels including Storm Bay (1925) and racing yachts including Winston Churchill tragically lost in the 1998 Sydney to Hobart.
