Rick was well known for his time as Sales Director of the leading UK fishing boat building company and Alan for his punishing use of fast fishing boats off the south coast of England as well as his interests in Game fishing. After testing most of the American imports to almost destruction and reaching the conclusion that they were designed for a disposable market, they set out to equal the American performance figures, but build for the tough demands placed on a boat by the unique conditions posed by European seas and owners. Working with John Moxham, one of the UK’s most successful powerboat designers the HR223 was born. The criteria for the design was crucial, that the boat could turn in speeds of over 30 knots whilst maintaining lateral stability in hard seas, linked with good penetration for comfort of the Anglers on board.
