    Yes I have been in touch with Andrea several times last year when he was planning for the new California shipyard. But not recently so I can not say if they are up and running for real yet...?

    Fantastic.....could you tell me who and what they are etc. Obviously ship builders but are they involved in design work etc. Or do they just build boats? Are they quite a new company? Are they a small outfit etc?

    Thanks for your response

    From what I was told, he had financial backing but no shipyard experience. The plan was to take over a former military site and build yachts in all sizes, especially with a new composite method. Big plans and I know he has approched some other designers as well, but since a couple of months I have not got any update.

    If you have been contacted recently it could mean that the project is still going and if all of his plans are to be realized I guess he must be very busy...

    I did a little poking around on the internet. I found a little info about the Pedrini Renewable Energy Group here:

    http://www.bulkoil.com/scripts/bulk_item.asp?p_com=6367

    If his plans of annual revenues in excess of 400M us are accurate, then he will no doubt be a wealthy man. I then found this link detailing his desire to find a suitable location in California to build yachts in excess of 30M here:

    While it would be really, really cool to have company building megas and eventually supers in southern California I just can't imagine where that would happen. The only places that comes to mind right away are the port complex in Long Beach/Los Angeles but you would almost certainly have to work something out with the longshoreman's union (read: good freakin' luck!) or in the channel islands area around the Pt. Magoo naval station (once again-- good luck snatching up land-from the gov't).
