About
History of the company
The founder of the American brand Gunboat Peter Johnstone belongs to a family known in the sailing world. His father Rodney Johnstone created the J/24 class in 1975, which is now one of the most popular in the world. Since childhood Peter Johnstone, who is familiar with the yachting industry, founded Gunboat in 2002, where he began building luxury catamarans in carbon. Over the years, the shipyard has given customers about 30 yachts ranging in length from 48 to 90 feet.
In 2014-15, the company suffered a number of setbacks. The shipyard's reputation was first hit by the Rainmaker (Hull #1 Gunboat 55), which lost its mast in a storm off the coast of North Carolina. Trouble continued with a catamaran capsule on the foyers of the Gunboat G4. Then, in 2015, Gunboat finally muffled a lawsuit against Chinese contractor Hudson Yacht and Marine Industries. The latter took over the production of the Gunboat 60 series, but failed to meet the quality standards,
At the same time, the history of the Rainmaker left in the sea has been continued with the hull of the catamaran discovered in one and a half years later intact and afloat. In
