Tony Dixon on Boatbuilding

Lots of things we designed and built these…well Clare Lallow built it.

It was the boat that John Fairfax rowed first across the Atlantic in and Uffa based the design on the airborne Lifeboat, so it was unsinkable.

He was the first…John Fairfax was the first man to row that way across the Atlantic.

So that was quite interesting, then after he’d done that, he persuaded Uffa to design another boat which was a two-seater for John Fairfax and his girlfriend and they rowed across the Pacific, which was some feat, but they did it.

So that was nice being involved with that.
