Composite Yacht has managed to stay busy even during these tough times. We feel very fortunate to have a long list of work orders. Even so do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to take advantage of any of our services. One reason we our busy is because we rarely ever turn down work.

Composite 26′

Monday, January 12th, 2009

As many of you know our Composite 26′ debuted in early 2008 at the Miami International Boatshow. We have generated a lot of interest and we appreciate everyone’s support. In particular Marc Stoner of Stoner Boatworks, our FL dealer. He recently received Hull #3 in the form of a dealer’s kit and already has #4 on order.

Hull #1 was sold to SC and we have Hull #2 at our facility for demos. Keep checking. This will be an ongoing project and we will try to keep the blog up to date as more orders come in.
