The Parker family has been building high performance International racing dinghies and a range of specialized performance cruiser yachts for many years. Winning numerous world championships with some of the worlds most recognised breed of yachtsmen and women.
Our roots were well established Bill Parker founded the first business in the 1950's with the International 505, soon becoming one of the most successful builders in the 1960's and 70's winning over 15 world championships (10 in a row) and then later developing the Olympic 470, Lark and Squib classes.
In the early 80's Parker's moved into the specialist arena of shoal draft performance cruisers and soon established the Seal class of yachts as one of the most reliable, easy to sail and flexible yachts on the market. This culminated in the Parker 235, 285 and 335 until they ended production in 2009.
We are back (maybe never left), now producing the squib, sandhopper and 235, all available with the same quality of build, professionalism and understanding of what makes a boat special.
