Owner Richard Worswick says:

"We were at the boat show looking for a sailing boat when we stepped aboard Ocean Fauna and just fell in love with her.

“The great advantage with a motor boat is that, especially if you don’t have much time, you can just step aboard and go. We ring Dave up if we have any problems and he’s always wonderfully helpful. It’s a brilliant firm, it really is.

“I think with a Cockwells boat you get something full of character, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a nice, solid feel. Dave’s boats have real style.

“We’re absolutely delighted with Ocean Fauna. In fact we’ve decided that we like the boat so much that we use her a lot for staying overnight – but we could do with just a little more room, so we’ve asked Dave to build us a slightly larger boat that will have a separate cabin.

“Having Dave Cockwell build a boat for you is exciting. Building a new boat with him is great fun – all the way from discussing the possibility of the boat to meeting the designer, Andrew Wolstenholme.

"In the design process Dave’s input has been huge. He has a rare talent for practical design as well as attention to detail and aesthetics. I’m a big fan of natural materials and I think wooden boats have a certain feel in the water that plastic boats don’t have.

“We absolutely love having our boat in Falmouth on some of the most beautiful natural waters in the world and we are greatly looking forward to having our 37ft launch ready for the summer of 2012.”
