Roger had been in correspondence with Laurent Giles M.D. Bill Matthew for some time prior to ordering the plans in June 1975 for his sloop rigged wooden Vertue. He selected the long doghouse and short cockpit and the three berth arrangement.
Roger had been concerned that as a novice builder he would need a great deal of technical support and back up from the design firm and in Bill’s acknowledgement to the order he wrote ‘Having paid your royalty, you may certainly approach us with technical queries on particular problems within reasonable limits, and we will always do our best to answer them’. Today the Laurent Giles Archive offers the same attitude towards customer service – pre and after sales.
