Company Highlights

 

-Jim Antrim

Jim Antrim has been designing pleasure boats professionally since graduating from Webb Institute of Naval Architecture in 1972.  He founded Antrim Associates Naval Architects in 1979, after working for Dick Carter, Britton Chance, and Gary Mull  - three of the leading yacht design offices of the seventies.  Jim is an experienced sailor and racer.  His expertise in composite engineering yields light and efficient structures and his love of sailing ensures that both racing and cruising designs will be performance oriented.
