Kim how about?

I'd like to see an article about a manufacturer (past or present) -
how they started
who were the key people
what were the key boats
why they went the way they did
why they are situated where they are
maybe an interview / quote from the CEO

Guess Fairline would be a good start

I can help with that

MBM wrote that series back in the mid 1990s...it covered the major Brit builders.

Written by the late and very definitely missed Keith Beardow, who was on the original Volvo Penta Aquamatic development team and knew many of the boatbuilders from their early roots.
