TWO BOAT PROJECT MANAGEMENT

The 58m ‘Netanya 8’ (originally names Bermie III) was under construction at the time and was the perfect opportunity to view the ‘Line 60’ hull from a first hand position. Following this visit, a two-boat deal was struck with the owner of ‘Slipstream’ and friends taking a second yacht named ‘Cloud 9’. 
At this point Burgess was retained by both owners to supervise the build project. Burgess was the ideal choice as we have a complement of sixteen naval architects and engineers available to support new build projects with technical supervision and the various approval processes involved”.

Jonathan continues “Right from the start an excellent working relationship was created with all the people at the CMN shipyard, this carried on throughout the whole build programme with full co-operation and a flexible support mentality.
Although there was economy of scale with two yachts being built in the same basic time frame we had the challenge, along with Andrew Winch Designs, to produce two world class yachts within a sensible budget. Our goal, along with the yard and design team, was to deliver excellent value for money. Seeing the end result of ‘Slipstream’ we all feel we have achieved this and more – a truly sparkling result. Everyone involved at CMN responded to suggestions and worked hard to deliver engineering solutions. This close working relationship was the key to added value throughout all areas of the finished yacht”.
