I race an Ovington 29er, it gives us confidence knowing it is a good boat, and will be fast, straight out of the wrapper.

Background

Ovington Boats was founded by Dave Ovington in 1975. Dave started off building traditional wooden boats and in particular race-winning Enterprises. With the search for lighter boats, Dave progressed to using glass fibre and developed the application of vacuum bagged foam sandwich construction. Sadly, in March 2005 Dave died suddenly – but his legacy lives on in the business and the people who have worked at Ovington Boats for many years.
