WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST BOAT
GALEON WERE BUILDING WHEN
YOU JOINED IN 2000?
They were making six- or seven-meter day boats.
However, they had already built around 4,000 boats
for the French brand Jeanneau. This meant they had
a well-trained workforce with solid craftsmanship skills,
which I saw as a great advantage.
Very quickly, they mastered what we call the ‘fit and finish’
of a boat, producing high-quality products that offered
great value for money. Today, I focus primarily on design,
and they are always open to innovation - even my crazier
ideas! Unlike many builders, they don’t start by worrying
about cost. They simply set out to create the best boat
possible, like their 56-footer. Their success comes from
their openness to new ideas and the dedication of their
workforce in making those ideas a reality.
