Nueva Zelanda - fabricantes de barcos y astilleros

Following the collapse of Cavalier Yachts, New Zealand, Jim Lawry formed Export Yachts Ltd in the early 1980s believing that export was the future for the company, and a number of Cavalier 39s were sent to Australia and the United States.

The New Zealand boatbuilder Cavalier Yachts began as a partnership between Peter K Smith and John Salthouse in 1970. The yard stopped production following a sudden 20% sales tax surcharge in 1979 which left their prices uncompetitive in the nautical marketplace for sailboats.
