Naval Architects

[S.Hunt]

Would anyone be able to point me to a designer that could help me generate plans for a costum boat I want to build? It would be beneficial if they were Canadian or had good knowledge of Canadian weather/winters.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

I've worked with a few naval architects in Canada. What kind of boat are we talking about?

I'm looking at designing/building a ~60' LOA sailboat, Monohull

Glass? Aluminum? Speedy? Simple?

wood primarily, most likely with a thin fiberglass coat over the hull. and something in the cruiser/racer category and definately able to do ocean crossing with reasonable comfort.

similar design the Discovery Yacht's 58' monohull (for comparison )

Bob Perry comes to mind. He is out of Washington state and has a pretty exhaustive list of custom designs. If I was doing a one off build he is probably the first person I would call.
