We are a dedicated and well experienced North American/Europaen team
with many years in the Marine Industry who feel we have found a niche
in the boatbuilding market and can compete in the International scene
by building Yachts in Brazil.

The advantages of building in Brazil include a government program
allowing for duty free importation of quality marine products from
overseas for boatbuilders exporting their final product, a large pool
of talented craftspersons, competitive salaries, low cost of living,
vast array of fine products such as hardwoods, resins, composites,
fibreglass, materials and much more produced right here in this
wonderful country of over 200 million people. The climate in the
Northeast is excellent for yacht construction - and properties as well
as land are inexpensive. We have the capability to produce one-off
composite boats or work with moulds on a production line.

Brazil recently put a rocket into space, they build jets that compete
with Boeing and Airbus, refine uranium and are now making moves towards
joining the G8 - this is not the Third World.

They are chopping more rainforest down than ever, not exactly a first
world activity these days...

cheers,
Pete.
