Welcome to my site.

In the few pages I have published here I would like to show a few things which I find of interest, and to document the renovation of a small Enterprise sailing dinghy, which my friend Mark & I 'acquired' (legally I might add) from a local dinghy park. The Enterprise has a huge class association around it, with registration numbers in the region of 23,000 currently.

The Land Yacht page has some information on a small land yacht I built in response to a challenge from a colleague. It is based on the DN series of Ice Boats. A full report of its sailing performance will follow soon.

The Ovel logo at the top is a little self indulgence on my part, it was the brand of a recumbent bicycle called Velocitá that I designed and had manufactured in small batches of 10. There were about 35 built to completion (40 frames in total) and I am very proud of it. You will find pictures and specs of it on the bikes pages, along with other bicycle related stuff as I find it.

In the Trikes pages is mainly the story of the VW Scooter. A fantastic little three wheeled car prototype, made as a styling exercise. It never went into production, this I feel was a great shame.
