Welcome to the design office of Radford Yacht Design. We specialise in the design of monohull sailing yachts of various styles and constructions ranging from ultra light racing yachts to steel cruising yachts.

Many of the steel and aluminium designs are available in kit form with most hull and deck components cut, ready for assembly. We also design custom yachts and FRP production yachts.
