Hi,

JCB-Va, AMG has given you some good advice here just as I think I did with the e mail I sent you the other day.

3 YRS build time will certainly be enough for a large yacht, you also need to allow time for planning and the specification even if you take one from the yard and adapt it to what you want, just be careful if you get a spec rather than writing one from scratch that the yard don't also give you a price that they want to increase for everything you want to change.

There are brokers who can be trusted. Do you have friends who have built boats or bought large ones who could possibly refer one to you. Or, Are you worried about the commission the brokers collect from the yards?

I do contract work for probably the best known company of Marine Surveyors and Consultants in the business. Drop me a line and I will give you the web address - that way you can look for yourself anonymously and there is no pressure or obligation to use them.
