Sailing Yacht PY 120 - Design by Bill Dixon

Bill Dixon is the first recipient of an award which is, in the years to come, certain to be considered one of the most prestigious in the yachting industry. The Asia Boating Awards added a new category this year; that of ‘Yacht Designer in Asia of the Year’, and Dixon was selected in recognition of his huge contribution to yacht design in the area.

Bill has been working in the region for over 25 years, and has established a client base throughout it which extends from Korea in the north east  to Thailand in the south west: with long standing clients in Taiwan, and new clients in the emerging Chinese market. Over the years Bill has undertaken a diverse range of projects including custom wooden schooners, Superyachts, production motorboats, to “one design”sailing yachts.

Working in this region for so many years has given Bill a unique understanding of the Asian market, the people, traditions, and business relationships.  To his clients, Bill and his team at Dixon Yacht Design bring their ‘state of the art’ design, experience & knowledge of the market.
