Paine Yacht Design Inc. to his former employees, yacht designers Mark Fitzgerald and Ed Joy. Through Mark and Ed you can gain access to the drawings and design rights for these excellent designs.

DESIGN CONSULTING: Chuck has decided to offer himself and his yacht design experience as a resource to would-be new boat purchasers. You are invited to plumb the depths of his hard-earned insights into what constitutes good and not so good boat design via email at info@chuckpaine.com. He’ll gladly help anyone who wishes to join the recreation that has illuminated his life. If the correspondence goes beyond a reasonable point, he will charge a fee.
SAIL WITH CHUCK PAINE: Chuck spent a lifetime out there on the beautiful interface between air and water. Along the way he learned to swing a sextant and reef a sail blindfolded because at night in a snotty wind, you might as well be. If you might wish to follow in his wake and need a guiding hand or a bit of encouragement, he offers himself as a mentor to sail with you and impart his knowledge. In this case he will ask for travel expenses at cost plus a hefty per-diem fee. If you’re looking to commission a custom sailing yacht design or need an expert opinion on how well that old hooker sails before you buy her, what you will learn from the experience could easily save you a million dollars.
