Groupe Board Chairman Jérôme de Metz will replace Hervé Gastinel.

The builder will focus on large multihull construction at the Bordeaux shipyard and move production of its sailing superyachts to its Montecarlo facility in Italy.

The company said growth came from robust sales of its European brands in the U.S. market as well as sailboat fleet sales.

Yannick Madiot, who previously worked for Beneteau USA until 2010, will supervise support activities in the U.S. division.

A new kind of cargo-sailing ship could be transporting its boats from Europe to the U.S. as early as 2021.

Still in the concept phase, the first version is a prototype.

The French conglomerate launched 38 new models last year.

The FLIR division has partnered with Prestige Yachts to demonstrate its DockSense assisted-docking system.

Delphia was founded in 1990 and employs 670 workers.

Erwin Bamps will try to grow Prestige’s presence in the Middle East and Asia.
