Alessi is a traditional clinker sailing dinghy designed by Paul Gartside and numbered the 130 design.
Brand new and beautifully built to a very high standard by James Higson a talented former student at the Lyme Regis Boat Building Academy. Alessi was exhibited at the Beale Park Boat Show where she received many admiring comments and was commissioned and sailed on the lake.
Alessi was also entered in the Best of the Best catagory at Art in Action, Wheatley, Oxfordshire as the Boat Building Academy’s sole entry. To commission a boat to this specification would currently cost in excess of £14,000.
