Jongert is a shipyard specialized in the building of sailing yachts, located in Wieringerwerf, Netherlands.
History
[edit]The shipyard was established by Jan Jongert, Sr., in Medemblik in 1953 and produced sailing yachts between 20 m (66 ft) and 50 m (160 ft) in length. Between 1970 and 1994 the yard exported cumulatively in excess of half a billion guilders worth of yachts.[1] Most of the later vessels were designed by Tony Castro and built from steel or aluminium.[citation needed]
Jongert went bankrupt in 2009, then restarted under the ownership of VEKA Group, led by director Peter Versluis, who acquired the shipyard as part of a consortium. The other partners in the consortium were not named at the time.[2][3] In 2015 the company went bankrupt again.[4]
In 2016 the company is active.[5][6]
On January 19, 2017, the company announced it had found a new investor, following the failed takeover of the yard by Acico. Together with the Vripack design studio, they were working on a 47 m (154 ft) motor yacht project.[7]
