the last decade, few design firms in the world have achieved the level of success of Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design. There are thousands of high performance custom racing and cruising yachts throughout the world, but only a few are exceptional. What makes a distinctive yacht begins with the selection of the right design team - ” one that is innovating and at the leading edge of its field. To translate an owner’s requirements into a consistently winning reality is an art, combining inspiration and vision with the ultimate in professionalism.

"Our approach is simple," says John Reichel, a graduate of the acclaimed naval architecture program at the University of Michigan. "We offer a broad range of services, use state-of-the-art tools, and work with the top experts in leading edge technologies." These technologies include tank and wind tunnel testing, simulations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), velocity prediction program (VPP's), systems development and integration, and sophisticated composite engineering and construction"

"I think one of the important features which distinguishes us from other design firms is our ability to think outside the box because we collaborate so readily with these outside experts," says Jim Pugh. Pugh, who besides having a hand in design, is also responsible for project management, customer relations, and marketing. "We're in a great position to utilize the tremendous enthusiasm and knowledge of our own team and that of each of these experts in their respective fields."
