Yachting Partners International (YPI) opened a new office in Monaco, just in time to celebrate its
35th anniversary in September. The new offices are located in the
1930s Le Victoria building on the Boulevard Princesse Charlotte. The office will
specialize in large-yacht sales and the supervision of existing new construction
projects, as well as provide local service to the many YPI clients who live
in or regularly visit the principality. Visit www.ypi.co.uk.
Construction of a series of new manufacturing facilities is
under way at the Palmer
Johnson shipyard in Sturgeon Bay,
Wisconsin. Among the new buildings is a 16,000-square-foot structure that is
the first noteworthy addition to the site since 1989. Others at 13,000 and
20,000 square feet will soon follow. These new structures will enable the yard
to nearly double its new-build construction capacity, which is now close to four
yachts a year. The Palmer Johnson range is presently described as semi-custom
sport yachts from 120 to 150 feet, although a 165-footer can be expected in the
near future. Visit www.palmerjohnson.com.
