Ocean 7 Sailing is a marine design company founded by waterman Tom Hammerton. Tom grew up in Dartmouth, Devon, a famed sailing and fishing town on England’s south west coast. He spent his childhood on boats and in the ocean in his native England. Tom began windsurfing, and moved to Maui to take his sport to the next level in the early-1990s. Currently, Tom works as a sail and product designer for a local windsurfing company in addition to heading up Ocean 7. He continues to enjoy his lifelong passion for sailing by racing yachts with the Maui Boat and Yacht Club.

The name comes quite simply from combining my favourite place, the ocean, and my favourite number, Seven.
For me the name also has a romantic overtone. It hints at something more, like the idea of a far distant place waiting to be discovered.
Plus it just sounds good to me, so there you go!
