Laurent Giles Archive

We are very pleased to have provided the owner of Corinna with copies of original construction drawings and some technical consultancy. He wrote 'Thank you for your full reply in assisting us with the reassembly of my keel, I think we are now on the way to getting it back together, probably better than when it was originally built!' Philip, owner of Corinna

Erik Skarstrom contacted us a few months ago as he was considering the purchase of Rapscallion, our design number 1044 which was designed and built thirty years ago in 1987. We were pleased to be able to provide him with drawing copies to enable him to better understand her construction and keel arrangements, and to discus her concept and early history from Barry van Geffen's first hand experience of the design process and construction. Most recently we have supplied to Erik drawings of the engine beds and shaft line in preparation for fitting her with a new engine. Erik commented "I must say, it is a great relief to be able to access the drawings from the Archive. It is very well set up and offers accurate and quick info about Rapscallion."

In April 2017 William Seline of Abernethy & Gaudin, renowned wooden boat builders of Victoria Canada ordered a tinted original lines plan of Dyarchy, he was very pleased with his purchase..... 'Hi Barry, I received the print today. It looks fantastic thanks so much',
