North Pacific Yachts is a privately held company based in Surrey, British Columbia which builds 28 to 43 foot recreational trawler motoryachts, which it produces in Ningbo, China. == History == North Pacific Yachts was founded in January 2004 by John and Trevor Brice after they designed the North Pacific 43. The original yacht was built in China and delivered for the Boats Afloat Show in Seattle in 2004. The company has delivered more than 100 vessels. They now offer six models from 28 to 58 feet. Trevor Brice is the son of John Brice, a China trade expert and entrepreneur from Vancouver, British Columbia. John Brice has dealt with manufacturing in Asia for over 35 years. In 1984 he founded a low-cost high-volume business called Quality Craft Ltd. which has 10 offices and 70 employees throughout North America and China. Quality Craft Ltd. supplies hundreds of retailers with a range of over 800 different products. John still spends the majority of his time in Asia developing his China offices and new products. Trevor Brice has been boating since he was 6 weeks old. After high school he also earned his Commercial Pilots License with a Multi-Engine Instrument rating. He completed a business degree while learning to fly. At that time he decided he didn't want to fly for a living, so he decided to start a business building the 43' Pilothouse which he and his father had designed for their family. Financing was provided by his father who made himself available for advice in running his new company. The North Pacific 43′ Pilothouse is a stout fiberglass trawler built on the original CHB 38 hull. The Brices located a naval architect who turned their ideas into construction drawings and CAD files, as well as to ensure seaworthiness and stability. The overriding philosophy was that all systems should be easy to access and maintain. Things like wiring are numbered and color-coded, and accessible through hinged service panels. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North Pacific Yachts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
