Speaker: Doug Zurn, Founder, Zurn Yacht Design, Member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers
Zurn Yacht Design has been a valuable resource for aesthetically pleasing yachts, bringing timeless designs to discriminating clientele in sail and power. A native of the Great Lakes, Doug grew up sailing and boating on his family’s McCurdy and Rhodes sailboats. During prep school, at age 17, Doug absorbed Skene’s “Elements of Yacht Design”, and began creating his own drawings and boat models in architecture class. He went on to receive his professional degree in yacht design with honors from The Westlawn School of Yacht Design in 1993. That same year he established Zurn Yacht Design and 525 power and sailboats later, it’s a pleasant pastime to recognize the beauty of Zurn yachts on the water.
