The company, which is headed by Martin Boulter, was only formed last year to build the Class 40 Fujifilm for Alex Bennett and is currently working on its second boat for American sailor Michael Hennessy with a confirmed order for a third.

Based in South Devon, the company has also been awarded a grant from Finance South West for a 75ft pre-preg oven and spray booth which will enable the business to expand further and build other classes of boat.

The company has high quality female moulds and offers custom variations to the Class 40 design with the interiors bespoke to each owner’s needs.

Boulter explained: 'The Class 40 is a rapidly expanding class – many sailors are finding it is more financially viable for them compared to other classes, however this oven will also enable us to expand into other areas as well which is something we’re keen to do.'
