Humphreys Yacht Design have moved! Whilst still remaining in Lymington, we have moved to new premises that are better suited to our and our clients’ needs. With an expanding workforce and increased workload, our new offices accommodate this recent growth and enable us to provide the best possible services to our clients.

The new premises occupies the site of a former farm on the Efford Estate which comprises a number of converted barns. With excellent links by road, rail, sea and air and a five minute drive from the centre of Lymington, our new ‘home’ marks the start of a new era for HYD.

Commenting on the move, Managing Director Rob Humphreys said ‘We are very excited about our new offices and the future for HYD. The premises are representative of our vision for how we see HYD moving forward and of our current standing at the forefront of design’.

After relocated to Eddford Park, Humphrey's Yacht Design has been working on projects. One of them was unveiled and showed at the jus past 2009 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). This is in the form of tender and simply called the 'C-Boat', designed by HYD and built by Jason Carrington.

HYD was commissioned early in 2008 by round the world sailor and race boat builder Jason Carrington to design a state of the art, high speed light displacement powerboat. Jason’s vision was to use the art and science of raceboat build technology to produce a very high-end product, both in terms of performance and aesthetics.

Project Eros is being built using high temperature SE84 prepreg carbon with Nomex and Core-Cell core materials. Powered by twin Steyr MO236HP diesel engines and 230 Alamarin water jets she will be capable of speeds of over 40 knots. The water jets also provide the added advantage of reduced draft, enabling her to access shallow bays and anchorages.

The HYD team has taken many the concepts and innovations introduced on larger projects and applied them to the design of Project Eros. One example is a water ballast system to increase her sea keeping ability and improve her low speed efficiency and control. She has a deliberately aggressive look with her deep vee hull and angular lines, yet maintains an air of classic styling. Ideal for use both as an independent day boat or as a tender to a superyacht, there is no doubt that she will turn heads.
