David Lake comes on board to head the Project Management Department

Goetz Custom Technologies have announced that David Lake has joined the company as the head of the Project Management Department.

Lake spent the past 25 years as a private project manager in construction and re-fits of large yachts. He has extensive practical experience at sea as well as hands on building of modern composite yachts, which makes him uniquely qualified to fulfill an owner’s yacht specifications.

Prior to his Project Management career, he had logged over 100,000 miles at sea and has raced in major regattas such as the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Southern Cross Cup, Pan Am Clipper Cup, SORC, Onion Patch, Newport – Bermuda Race, Antigua Race Week, Rolex Race Week, and Key West Race Week. In addition to racing extensively he has had five years experience as Captain of a large cruising yacht.

"I believe that building a new yacht or re-fitting an existing one should be an enjoyable process for our clients. Right from day one, my commitment is to make sure that everything is done the way the owner wants it, when they want it and with careful financial oversight, said Lake.

Lake will be responsible for driving the company's refocused efforts to revise the industry's approach to custom and semi-custom builds. This approach to Project Management will result in a better boat for the money spent and a more positive experience for both the customer and the builder. "We know what works and what does not work with new builds and refit projects. We also know what actions to take to build the best possible boat within the bounds of the contract."
