Västervik Yacht Builders Society

 


 

Västervik has a long history of boat building, boats and yachts have been built for centuries. Today the marine industry is changed and co-operation where possible results in higher quality and efficiency.

With that in mind VYBS (Västervik Yacht Builders Society) was formed late 2009. The first members are Storebro, Windy Scandinavia, Marström Composite and Golden-Cut Yachts. Richard Granberg (Golden-Cut Yachts) is chairman of the board.

One of the goals in VYBS is to inform and educate about the marine industry industry in Västervik and its old and impressive history and develop the industry for the future. Therefore the project East Coast Marine Center was initiated.

It is a long term investment and one of the first sub-projects are to build a publicly open Showroom for visitors in conjunction the Golden-Cut/Windy Scandinavia yard. The opening is planed for late September 2010.
