History
The shipyard was established by Chris Gongriep (1946-2016) in 1990 as De Hemmes[1] to build lemsteraken, a traditional wooden workboat type from Lemmer. The yard acquired naval architect André Hoek's newbuild management company Dutch Built in 1998 in order to transition to aluminium sailing yachts;[2] Thereafter Hoek cooperated closely with Gongriep, producing the largest two-mast schooner in history, Athos, in 2010.[3] After completing a significant expansion of the shipyard's building shed, Gongriep committed suicide on December 9th, 2016,[4] and the shipyard's brand new 12,000m² facilities were subsequently rented out to fellow Dutch yachtbuilder Royal Huisman.[5]

gollark: Airport "security" is very uncool.
gollark: It's nice, although I do wish they'd support more extensions sometimes.
gollark: I don't use YouTube very much, and the main focus is the video anyway. Also, I had no idea that YouTube had a dark mode.
gollark: > i wonder how much google can tell about some1 just from their viewing habitsWell, they probably combine those with a bunch of other data. Like location, stuff installed on phone, search history, that sort of thing.
gollark: I mean, I already watched the new one, so I suppose it has evolved beyond those advert recommendation systems which show you ads for stuff you already bought.
