| This 22.4m ketch was designed by
DMC&A and launched in 1982 for the childrens' charity, Shaftesbury
Homes and Arethusa. The vessel was completed by the International
Boatbuilding Training College at Lowestoft and has since carried
thousands of disadvantaged children on voyages from UK waters to
transatlantic crossings. At the last count, she had put nearly half
a million miles under her keel with no major problems. The
"Arethusa" has performed very well in Tall ships Races and is a
winner of the Round the Island Race during Cowes week. This
vessel is now named "Faramir" and is operated by the Cirdan Trust.
DMC&A has a long history of involvement with sail and sea training
organisations in the UK and has acted as Consultant Naval Architect
and Surveyor on this and other vessels since build, carrying out
annual refit examinations, surveys and giving advice on operations.
