Shipyards and boat builders: motorsailers

The story begins in late 1950´s when Nauticat moulded its first small fibreglass boats.
In the 1960's and 1970's, the designer was W. Aarnipalo (Nauticat 33, 36 and 44).
In the 1980's, the designer was the office of Sparkman & Stephens (Nauticat 521, 40 and 43).
Since 1986, the designer was Kaj Gustafsson (Nauticat 32, 35, 39, 42, 515).
In 1990 the yard took over the motorboat manufacturer Oy Flipper Ab.

The production began back in the middle 80's.
Now, Viko UK is a division of Legend Yachts UK Ltd.

Bayfield Boat Yard was founded by Ted Gozzard and originally located in the village of Bayfield, southern Ontario. It became one of the largest sailboat manufacturers in Canada. At it's peak it employed 65 full time employees and moved to a larger facility 20 miles away in Clinton Ontario.
