54m SV Tenacious

The SV Tenacious is a modern British wooden sail training ship, specially designed in the 1990s to accommodate anyone over 16 with a disability. When completed in 2000, it was the largest wooden ship to be built in the UK for over 100 years. 

We are proud to have designed this pioneering vessel which has introduced the sea to so many people who through disabilities and impairments – who hitherto – did not have these opportunities.

“Design a tall ship which can introduce people with severe disabilities to experience the most adventurous offshore sailing.”
