Seakeeping

“The profile is unmistakable, its flared bow sniffing the air as spray is sent flying down either side of the boat. There are few sights as fine as a Nelson dispensing waves”

Respect & Reassurance

The deep connection with the sea and seamanship, the love and appreciation of tradition and craftsmanship and the importance of family and family values underpin everything that is DALE today.

The sea-keeping qualities of a DALE are designed with the respect which is the culmination of generations of experience of the sea. Combining this with the proven Nelson heritage gives our hulls a legendary combination of effortless performance, magnificent ride, predictable manoeuvrability and ease of handling.

Relaxed comfort realised through knowing the hull’s ultimate capabilities makes cruising irresistible - the smooth ride giving the confidence to venture out in a wider range of conditions gives total reassurance.

The ease with which a DALE handles has to be experienced. The effortless dismissal of wave after wave on an open passage, high speed cornering, tight manoeuvring in close quarters or negotiating an inland waterway continually reminds you that you are in absolute command.

Pure enjoyment and absolute security perfectly balanced.

A DALE is entirely created by our own craftsmen. Every installation is meticulously engineered. Every piece of joinery hand crafted. There is no compromise. Each stage of the build is monitored to the most exacting standards to give you the dependability that inspires the confidence to venture far offshore.

“It doesn’t matter how many times you drive an Arthur Mursell hull it always surprises with its sea kindliness and preposterous refinement, even in the most challenging conditions”
