Holland Jachtbouw

Holland Jachtbouw is a shipyard specialized in building large sailing yachts.

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 9, 2016,[4] and the shipyard's brand new 12,000m² facilities were subsequently rented out to fellow Dutch yachtbuilder Royal Huisman.
