In 1996 Chay Blyth engaged Phil Morrison to design an ocean
rowboat; the result was a boat that came in kit form and
took approx. 650 hours to be assembled. That boat known as
the ''Challenge Class ocean rowboat'', a boat that proved itself on 3 oceans.
In 2004 the challenge Business was sold to Woodvale Events.
In 2002 Fedor Konyukhov (Russia) asked Phil Morrison to design him a
light/fast one off ocean rowboat that was to become Uralaz,
which broke the record for a solo row across the Atlantic East -
West.
In 2002 Theodore Rezvoy (Ukraine) asked Phil to design him a boat along
the lines of the Uralaz; Ukraine was a one off from which mould
was made and 7 boats - Queensgate, Macmillan Spirit, Sedna
solo,, All Relative, Lady Georgia, GB row challenge,
Britannia Endeavour, - were built from this mould by Rowsell and
Morrison, later to be known as Rowsell and Adkin.
That mould was
also bought by Woodvale Events.
In 2006 Phil Morrison put the design into the public domain and
Rossiter Yachts built Gemini (for team of Alan
Lock & Matt Boreham), from which a mould was made.
Boats from this mould are now available for solo or
double.
Phil Morrison has been ask by ORS Int. to design a 4s boat,
production is due to begin in March 2008.
In 2007 Phil Morrison designed a one off solo sprint boat for Dave Clarke
called Positive Outcomes, making Phil Morrison the only ocean rowboat
designer to produce multiple design ocean rowboats. |
