Nigel IrensRDI is a yacht designer. He is the designer of the Adventure which is a 35m trimaran motor yacht which completed a circumnavigation in 1998. He also designed the B&Q/Castorama [fr] which is a 23 m sailing trimaran used by Ellen MacArthur to break the world record for solo circumnavigation in 2005.[1]
His design portfolio in addition to yachts also includes cruising designs such as Roxane,[2] and other sailing designs of traditional appearance such as the Westernman[3]cutters which were designed in association with Ed Burnett. He also designed the launchRangeboat which is a 12m power craft of traditional appearance. Irens' designs synthesise traditional forms with modern materials and methods of construction, with Carbon fibre masts,[2] laminated frames,[3] and epoxied strip wood[4] strongly in evidence.
At the start of his career as a yacht designer Ed Burnett worked for Irens. They collaborated on projects and worked together on designs such as Zinnia, a 30ft gaff cutter, Kilrush Nomad II, a 43ft gaff cutter,[5] and the King Alfred dinghy[6] to be built by King Alfred School in London. By 2012, the school had built three, and use them to introduce students to dinghy cruising.[6]
Irens is noteworthy for the simplicity, efficiency, and, essential elegance of his designs.[citation needed]
