DALE sea-keeping - 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.

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 hulls perform without drama – there's simply a smoothly controlled transition from standstill to seemingly effortless cruising speeds – with top speeds of 32 knots for the Nelson 38, 36 knots for the Classic 45 and 45 knots for the DALE 23.

Speeds dependent on engine specifications and fit out.
