Dear all, I am new to this forum, so please bear with me if I don't do everything "by the book" yet. As an enthusiast, I try to keep tabs on Dutch superyacht builders, in terms of deliveries and orderbooks. In that respect, the Jongert yard is somewhat of a mystery sometimes. Does anyone know what happened to the following projects? FREULE (41m classic looking motor yacht announced in 2008): I think the hull was built, but was it ever completed? 50m motoryacht, announced in 2008. Was it ever built? 44.1m motoryacht, announced in 2011. Is this being built? 46.4m Dubois design motoryacht, also announced in 2011. Is this one coming? 3400M type 34m sailing yacht, announced in 2011. Status? 3200P sailing yacht, due in 2014 according to some sources. Anyone seen anything about this one? A lot of questions, I know, but any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
Dear rd77, We welcome enthusiasts, but we don't welcome industry folks attempting to gather information to further their bottom line. It is somewhat concerning that the Holland Shipbuilding Association, the organization you work for, does not have better resources in their own country. That said, it is seriously concerning that you would pose as an enthusiast to gather information. This is fraud. During the registration process, you were warned multiple times that we take a zero-tolerance approach to clandestine conduct or market research.
Interestingly enough, didn't we have an rd77 member before? And now rd77 joins this month with 1 post. I'm confused.
Sorry guys, I won't bother you with that again. I thought I could give it a try, not a good idea. Don't expect that I know all the orderbooks of all the Dutch superyacht builders, most of them don't like to talk about that. In general I think I'm pretty much up to speed on most yards, but Jongert is a bit of mystery (as is the case with more yards belonging to the VEKA group, it's always a surprise what comes out of their building halls). Anyway, sorry about that, won't post stuff like this again. If I can add something useful on other topics, I will try to do that going forward.
