Petticrows build International Racing One Design Yachts for the World.

The Petticrows company was established in 1896, some 200 meters from the current purpose built factory. Burnham-on-Crouch, traditional home of long established Royal Yacht Clubs, is the second largest yachting centre in the South East of England.

Over the past 20 years Poul-Richard Hoj-Jensen, double Olympic Gold Medallist, has masterminded the development of the International Dragon Class construction within the yard. Today boats are built under the expert guidance of boat builder Tim Tavinor.

The Petticrows total performance concept means everything is built-in-house. This ensures consistent quality and attention to detail by our highly skilled and dedicated team.

It is the unique blend of craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology in design and construction, which has kept Petticrows ahead in International competition this past Century.
