Call Merf Owen with your enquiries on the contact details below.
Merfyn Owen is graduate of the University College London, Fellow of the University of Glamorgan, a chartered engineer, and member of the Royal Institute of Naval Architects. His responsibilities in his company Owen Clarke Design are concentrated around race boat design and performance development. Merfyn sits on the IMOCA 60 technical committee and was an integral part of the group to formulate the class rule for the Volvo 70 because of his extensive experience in swing keel racing yacht design. He is a ‘double’ Cape Horner and former round the world race boat skipper himself on the 96/97 BT Global Challenge, as well as co-skipper in the 2005 transat Jacques Vabres. His input is very much as ‘hands on sailor’, as he continues to race at a high level in a variety of classes.
