High performance sailing meets DALE build standards. From the drawing board of John Corby, the technology of a cedar strip/carbon fibre composite hull marries perfectly with DALE’s traditional craftsmanship, technical abilities and superlative standards of finish. John Corby needs no introduction to the world of high performance sailing – DALE’s advanced composite construction expertise is the perfect complement to ensure the design’s full potential is reached.

A stunningly individual signature. A new design from the keel up but with the same lineage as the DALE Nelson 38, the 45 offers everything the Nelson name stands for, and DALE’s unique levels of craftsmanship rejoice in the relaxed style of the timeless design. A DALE is where luxury meets top spec. Business like features define the character of the boat, whilst features designed for your convenience remind you that a DALE takes you beyond luxury… Electric Sunroof The ideal addition to make the most of sunny days – when the roof and the rear bulkhead are open, the saloon takes on a real open-air cockpit feel yet remains very sheltered. This is a 3 way option – you can open just the blind to flood the saloon with light, open the glass screen to any position from a few inches to fully open, or have the roof and blind fully closed to cosy up for the evening. At the flick of a switch the helm and pilot seat close right up to the dash, exposing more seating on the port side of the boat. The freed up space then also allows the saloon table to open up to provide a very sociable area – open the sunroof and bulkhead for alfresco dining, or close everything up for a snug Winter dinner. Drop down bulkhead At the touch of a button the rear bulkhead window drops out of sight – combined with a ‘stable’ door to the cockpit it means you can instantly convert the boat from a closed saloon to an open hardtop. The anchor system has been thoroughly developed and engineering to ensure the smoothest possible recovery and neatest stowage. The DALE engineers pay particular attention to the small details that make a big difference to experienced sea-goers – fuel tanks run the length of the hull so they enhance rather than detract from stability; fuel fillers have digital readouts, hull sides and stringers are fully sound proofed, engine rooms feature kind-to-the-knees rubber matting in place of harsh checker plate, through hull fittings are fitted with engraved labels. Complementing additional cushioned cockpit seating, a cockpit table with folding leaves and a central refrigeration unit. Very sociable and ideal if you use your boat for entertaining.

The boat that's valued by those who know the sea. So much has been written about the sea keeping abilities of the DALE Nelson 38 and the sheer quality and finish of the DALE build, it seems superfluous for us to say more... The Nelson 38 has a commanding external helm position supplemented by a covered chart area. From blanket drawers in the cabins to a cutlery drawer in the galley, from chart stowage and a drinks cabinet in the wheelhouse, the stowage can be designed and built to the owner’s exact specification. Sociable area for a snack, quiet escape to read a book, or ready for a three course meal for the whole crew – the extending table makes this area ideal for a multitude of purposes. The aft cabin version of the DALE Nelson 38 boasts a private and spacious master cabin with ensuite toilet and shower.

The DALE 23’s superior performance and sea-keeping owes a lot to the Nelson heritage of its design, but these abilities are also helped by the method of construction. The carbon fibre / e-glass / epoxy / foam composite using vacuum infusion method gives superior strength and rigidity for its weight as well as a higher stability of structure. Finish is by Awlgrip Awlcraft 2000 paint in the owner’s choice of colour. This offers superior UV resistance so this is a hull which will look as good in 10 years time as on the day it was launched.
