Words from boatbuilders to their supply chain and the designers:
MD of Luhrs Marine
"We don't buy from catalogues," he said. "We want back-up and warranties." After a year dealing in the UK industry, he said UK suppliers were gradually getting nearer to what Luhrs Marine wanted
The builders were similarly unimpressed by boat designers. Tony Castro, chairman of the DAME jury, asked panelists if they saw the design function being taken in-house in the future.
It's the same for all suppliers," said Fritz Conyn, managing director of Conyplex. "Designers just sit and draw and don't know what the yards build."
