| 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.
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.
