Ovington Boats are pleased to announce the recent acquisition of the ‘Solution’ Dinghy. The Solution hull has been built at Ovington Boats since its outset in 2005, and it seemed like a natural progression for Ovington Boats to complete the ‘Solution’ by fitting out and marketing the boat.
The Solution was developed by Kevin Clark and Andrew Elliott to cater for sailors who wanted a quality high performance single hander but were too light for the Phantom.
Kevin Clarke, designer of the Solution said ‘the class is very happy and we’re looking forward to having back up from Ovington’s’
Chris Turner of Ovington Boats sailed the ‘Solution’ in Tynemouth this week and at last weekend’s open meeting at Delph Sailing Club and said ‘I was pleasantly surprised, the boat exceeded my expectations. I met some of the sailors for the first time at Delph, they were friendly and very enthusiastic and I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend.’
All of the spares and components for the Solution are currently being catalogued and will soon be available online at www.OvingtonBoats.com
