What Rob Humphreys's boats do well

Rob Humphreys has 35 designs in this archive, drawn between 1983 and 2022 for 8 different yards, from 7 metres to 19: a pencil that has worked at both ends of the sport.

The longest of those relationships is with Elan: 27 designs between 1996 and 2022, 26 years of the same two names on the same transom.

The Elan E4 of 2001 is the most efficient design here, with a Race Edge of 91 — it is in the middle and the heavy that it makes the difference, turning the old pattern over.

It holds for the Nessy 94 of 1983 as much as for the Elan 210 of 2010: the size changes, the character does not.

Still drawing: the most recent design here is from 2022.
