Damen was established in 1927 in the town of Hardinxveld-Giessendam in the Netherlands by Jan and Marinus Damen. The two brothers ran a successful, mainly Dutch-oriented, shipyard for decades. Over the years they managed to build up a small, but loyal customer-base.
Damen Shipyards Hardinxveld, located about 10 km from Damen’s HQ in Gorinchem, still exists today and is specialised in designing and building workboats, especially Multi Cats ad Shoalbusters.
In 1969 Jan Damen’s son, Kommer Damen, took over. In addition to building reliable vessels at an affordable price, Kommer Damen had a revolutionary idea: the standardisation and series production of workboats. To make this vision become reality he needed the support of several key suppliers and clients, most of which still maintain a close relationship with Damen today.
Today, Damen Shipyards Group is a globally operating company with more than 50 shipyards, repair yards and related companies as well as numerous partner yards that can build Damen vessels locally. Since 1969, Damen has designed and built more than 5,000 vessels and delivers up to 150 vessels annually.
Geoffrey Beresford Heywood MBE DL (July 12, 1914 – June 15, 2006), known as Tim Heywood, was a British Army officer and bureaucrat. He served as the chief signals officer of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). In later life, he was president of the Country Landowners' Association (CLA) and founder president of the European Landowners' Association.
Heywood was born in Newcastle. His father was a stockbroker. He was educated at Eton, where he built radios in his spare time. He became an accountant, and was commissioned into the Royal Corps of Signals (Middlesex Yeomanry) in 1939. His regiment was sent to Palestine with the 1st Cavalry Division in 1940. He volunteered to join the Long Range Desert Group and was interviewed by Major Ralph Bagnold and Captain Bill Shaw in Cairo. He joined the LRDG and became its chief signals officer in August 1941, in charge of its special radio equipment, its codes, and the communications group at the Group's headquarters. After fighting for three years in North Africa, and a spell in Lebanon and the Greek islands, the Group moved to Bari in south Italy, from which it raided Corfu and operated in the Dalmatian islands and Yugoslavia.

Amels, the famous superyacht builder based in the Netherlands provides you inside information of their recent new builds
Paul Madden Associates http://private-yacht.net According to SUPERYACHT TIMES- "Imagine is the first Limited Editions Amels 212. Her build went smoothly from start to finish, and she was delivered 4 weeks ahead of schedule with an unmentionably short snag list of five minor items. As her current owner's representative points out, the whole process was simply “stress-free”, something specifically remarkable for a project of this scale. With an LOA of 65.50 metres, renowned British designer Tim Heywood, along with Amels' own team of design specialists, conceived a contemporary exterior design, graciously combining form and function. Her fresh looks strike one as particularly architectural, with Heywood himself describing the design as “strong, athletic, feminine and sleek”. Imagine's overall...
At 660 Gross Tons, the LIMITED EDITIONS AMELS 180 appeals to owners who want a yacht with the strength, seaworthiness, and the ocean-going magnitude of a "little big ship". Designed by Tim Heywood, the bold, elegant and streamlined form of the AMELS 180 was born out of the successful 52-metre LIMITED EDITIONS AMELS 171. The extended platform brings many additional features and benefits. For example the Main Deck Saloon has been extended, increasing this luxury area by more than 30%. An extra large Sun Deck has been engineered for a Touch & Go helipad above the bridge. www.amels-holland.com
