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.
