About Dale - Sea-Keeping


Relaxed comfort: The security of knowing the hull’s ultimate capabilities lie far beyond what you ever want to use makes cruising irresistible. A smooth ride means you will be happy to venture out in a wider range of conditions.
Performance: Our semi displacement hulls perform without drama – there’s simply a smoothly controlled transition from standstill to seemingly effortless cruising speeds. The Nelson 38 can achieve speeds of up to 30 knots whilst the Classic 45 can reach 36 knots.
Handling: The ease with which a DALE handles, from negotiating a canal to high speed cornering, continually reminds you that you are in absolute command.
Respect and Reassurance
The sea-keeping qualities of a DALE are designed with the respect that comes from generations of experience.
The Nelson heritage gives our hulls a legendary combination of effortless performance, magnificent ride, predictable manoeuvrability and ease of handling.
From moulding the hull to applying the name, a DALE is entirely created by our own craftsmen. Every installation is meticulously engineered. There is no compromise.
Every stage of the build is monitored to the most exacting standards to give you the dependability that inspires the confidence to venture far offshore.
The enjoyment is pure, the reassurance is total.
