The world of superyachting is dominated by motor yachts and the split between power and sail is estimated to be about nine to one, with the Dutch at the forefront of the sort of quality production epitomised by the First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders (Feadship).
Feadship is a large Dutch conglomerate that includes Royal Van Lent (bought recently by LVMH, the luxury-goods conglomerate), De Vries, and De Vooght, the specialist naval architects.
