Boat International – August 2019

“I think we have a

lot more .com and

startup wealth here

than in Europe. It’s a

huge generalisation,

but my perception

from afar is that a

lot of the younger

buyers in Europe

have inherited

their wealth”

AH

“If I were to buy another yacht,

quality and looks would be key. The

marriage of these two things allows

for a great pedigreed platform to

be reinvented in a current way” MV

HOWARD MEYERS

YACHT: INGOT

LENGTH: 46.9 METRES

THOMAS STARK

...ON THEIR

PRIORITIES

“I don’t care about

speed. Why?

What’s my rush?”

HM

...ON THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN US

AND EUROPEAN

YACHT OWNERS

“American and European yacht owners

are more alike than different. We all share

a common bond with the sea that creates

an instant kinship. We’re in this to have fun

and create memories” MM

“Quality is important,

but layout is also a

big factor for me when

buying a boat. I find

so many older boats

are not laid out in

the way that I would

want to use them” AH

“The most

important factor

when buying

a boat is the

quality of the

build. Period” HM

“Which country a boat

is built in is a

critical component.

Staying power is

everything”

MM
