cVstn yachts tiave rrst
By Cathertne O'Brien
Tek -Miff
EXETER - Building Weed class
racing yachts is a painstakirg pro-
cess that requires a keen eye to de-
tail as well as the ability to keep up
with new technological develop-
ments.
And achieving these goals has
kept Scorpio Yachts in the trace
with its competition.
"If the designers want to use new
techniques or materials we can
adapt to their needs quite easily,"
said owner Hayden Gozzard.
This ability to adapt with ease
comes from the fact the business
operates on a small scale with three
full time staff and another five peo-
ple brought near the end of each
project.
"That's all the staff you need dur-
ing the first stages of production,"
Gozzard said.
As one of only two of such boat -
builders in Ontario, Gozzard pre-
fers to treat his craft on a more
creative, less competitive basis.
Gozzard said producing custom
yachts is more interesting than pro-
duction line building. "There is a
greater feeling of pride when the
project is completed," he said.
Scorpio Yachts has been. in busi-
ness since 1980, but it has only
been in the last seven years they
have been specializing in custom
yacht building.
He got into the business at the
lowest level, learning through trial
and error the fundamentals of yacht
building. "It's not a skill taught in
school," he said. "It is something
you can only learn by doing."
As mentioned earlier, there is
only a small pocket of builders
around the world.
His main competition is four oth-
er makers scattered in Europe, New
.Zealand, the United States and the
other Ontario builder.
"Irmay not seem like there is a
•lotof.competition, but there are not
a lot of buyers willing to spend
more than half a million dollars on
a toy."
The way Gozzard sees it the only
way to build a durable light weight
racing yacht is to build it by hand.
"Customers want the very best
workmanship," he said. "Making
diem by hand also makes it easier
to fit it to the customers personal
needs.,,
Once a design is chosen it is fol-
lowed rigorously. Gozzard said
there are about six top design corn -
parties.
They are in constant touch with
the designers, top sail makers and
any organization involved in the
production of custom yachts.
From the design stage to getting
the boat in the water, it takes about
seven months work.
The time of course depends on
the size and style of the boat. It
takes about 6,000 hours to produce
each custom made yacht.
Since the yachts are built to stric
design speeifications there isn't
really a personal signature that sets
Scorpio Yachts -span from +serer
builders.
"People in the bftsiness of racing
know who builds what," he said.
'Chat's why it's import to remain on
the cutting edge. "Your only as
good as the last boat produced."
The business depends on word of
mouth rather than advertising to
gain recognition for quality work.
About 95 percent of Gozzard's
customers are from the United
States, although they have sold to
customers in Japan and Canada.
With the U.S. as the main source
oY revenue it may seem odd that the
business was set up in Exeter. But
Gozzard enjoys the anonymity that
comes from working in a smaller
center.
It is also clooy� to the lake and
production costs'hre lower because
there is relatively low overhead.
Since they only build a yacht
about every year it's easy for them
to keep tabs on their products
which have had impressive wins in
a number of sailing competitions.
The first custom racing yacht
built by Scorpio Yachts, called
Sprint, is still competing, Gorzard
saki.
Although the winter is the main
time for building, Scorpio is in the
middle of Crafting a 44 foot long
1 racing yacht that should be ready
for launch in October. It's going to
be launched in Florida, so the late
completion date is not a problem.
This size yacht is about the
1biggest that can be made at Goz-
' Bard's Alexander Street shop.
"If we wanted to build something
bigger, we would have to expand,"
he said. "But extending operations
creates headaches end I'm in it for
the fun,"
Scott Murray
examines the upper
portion of the 44
foot racing yacht
that should be
completed by
October.
