Holland Jachtbouw
Zaandam yard started by Chris Gongriep in 1990 that became known for large aluminium schooners and J Class yachts, including the 62 m Athos. The Zaandam site passed to the Port of Amsterdam in 2019 and is now used by Royal Huisman; the brand has since been carried on by VMG Yachtbuilders in Enkhuizen.
