Initial brief from William Collier was to review the 1930's design for compliance against current Flag and Class
requirements. Very early it was clear that the new design was not going to meet all the specifics required by GL Watson, and so instigated a rethink.
Initially it was envisaged the new Taransay would be slightly longer than the original, however as requirements evolved, so did the length.
Stability would become a significant factor with the length to beam ratio being adjusted to improve survival when flooded. In the end we generated
a number of different versions from 35m to 37.5m. Subsequently our 37.5m design became the basis for the Rossi Navi team to tweek. The final build length was just over 28m.
