Holland jachtbouw is a shipyard specialized in building large sailing yachts. It is located in the municipality of Zaandam in the Netherlands.
History
The shipyard was established by Chris Gongriep in 1990 as De Hemmes[1] to build lemsteraken, a traditional wooden workboat type from Lemmer. The yard acquired naval architect André Hoek's newbuild management company Dutch Built in 1998 in order to transition to aluminium sailing yachts;[2] Thereafter Hoek cooperated closely with Gongriep, producing their largest project to date, the schooner Athos, in 2010.[3] After completing a significant expansion of its building shed, Holland Jachtbouw entered a shareholding agreement with yachtbuilder Palmer Johnson that would transfer the latter's manufacturing from Wisconsin to the Netherlands in 2015.[4]
Gongriep committed suicide on December 9th, 2016[5] and the shipyard's brand new 12,000m² facilities were subsequently rented out to follow Dutch yachtbuilder Royal Huisman.[6]
