Why Does Truebuild Yachts Host Discussions on New Yachts?

Truebuild Yachts is on a quest to find radical new ways to increase the value for boat buyers and boat builders.  The best way to achieve this is through colaboration.

Truebuild Yachts is in the business of increasing value for both yacht buyers and yacht builders. That means we increase profits for builders and save buyers money. Both get better outcomes with fewer hassles based on processes and knowledge developed over decades of yacht building experience.Lately, I have seen the need for a radical increase in value for builders of new yachts and buyers of new yachts as builders are struggling with profitability and buyers think new boats are over-priced. This is more than just a sign of the current economic times. It is a deeper problem.

Yacht ownership is returning to elitist status and excluding many from enjoying its pleasures. I am blogging on causes and immediate solutions available to this value proposition problem. There is much that can be done immediately on individual boat deals to get better outcomes for all parties. This is what Truebuild Yachts does, but deeper, broader and sustainable solutions are possible through teamwork.

Yacht builders do not have an effective way to listen to yacht buyers and yacht buyers, as a group, have no effective mechanism to speak to builders. My hope is that the discussions that emerge will interest and encourage the participations of boat owners, prospective buyers, yacht builders, repair yards, industry suppliers, lenders, insurers, naval architects, structural engineers, and anyone that cares to share ideas that will help build boats that better serve markets.

What is in this for Truebuild Yachts? I will personally get satisfaction if this process can make a positive difference in an industry in which I have participated most of my life, Truebuild Yachts may get more consulting work or may take on new roles in executing some of the projects that develop.

My goal though, is that all who choose to participate will have equal opportunity to benefit from these discussions.
