We are pleased to inform you that at the next METS in Amsterdam we have been invited to an event by the prestigious American nautical magazine Professional Boatbuilder.

Participants:

Marnix Hoekstra: Principal at Vripack Naval Architecture

Richard Strauss: President at Teak Decking Systems

Xavier Ardevol: Owner at TMT Marine

With input from a marine deck company, an alternative hardwood supplier, and a designer of high-quality custom yachts we'll give access to a range of perspectives and experience. We'll share the best use profiles and practices for teak alternatives explaining the material qualities, product longevity in a range of conditions, and market demand and acceptance. This panel can provide practical guidance for anyone confronting the need to shift away from traditional teak in their boats.

You are all invited to assist at that meeting on Thursday November 16 from 1:30-2:00 p.m.
