About Us
Weymouth Offshore and Grahame Knott have a vast amount of experience in deep keel
trihedral design vessels.
Having been closely involved with the
development and sales of the Offshore range of boats in the nineties and
helping to secure the future of the 105, 125 and 25 after Rod Baker
moved into catamaran production.
They then moved on to commission the
Evolution 38. Shortly after production got under way a serious injury
forced Grahame to reluctantly sell the tooling to Universal Projects.
Thankfully after two years and considerable surgery all that development
experience is now not to be wasted.
Grahame along with Cliff Southwood
and Damaris Hockey have launched the Venom and are currently redesigning
and producing the prototype for the new generation Offshore 125.
Cliff worked for many years in the communications industry specifically
in the area of banking and project management. His undoubted skill as a
boat designer and builder are enhanced by his analytical approach.
During development work on the Offshore 125 and plug work on the
Evolution he proved truly irreplaceable, reminiscent of a Jack Russell
refusing to let go until the results were perfect.
Cliff also found the
time to run his own vessel and therefore has a first hand understanding
of what is required from the modern day charter boat.
The concept,
design and production of the Venom from drawing board to completion is
testament to his persistence.
Damaris also has a background in communications and has particular
skills in statistics, scheduling and project management, she really
knows how to put a project together and bring it in on budget.
Allied to
this she has proved to be a natural when it comes to glasswork and
laminating. Her attention to detail is nothing short of remarkable.
Damaris made sure we never lost focus and direction during development
work and now has her hand firmly on the tiller as the business grows.
