Posted

USWatercraft will open its doors this Saturday, March 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a behind-the scenes look at the combination of high-tech construction and craftsmanship that goes into each of its boats.

Visitors will be given a guided tour of the Warren factory and learn about the build process and meet the of boatbuilding experts and customer service team.

The builder of True North Yachts, Alerion Yachts, C&C Yachts, and North Rip Boats, USWatercraft produces luxury power and sail brands, as well as grand-prix racing sailboats and sport fishing boats.

While different in design, they share a common denominator - each hull is built to exacting standards using the high-tech, efficient resin-infusion construction process. Visitors will also see the carpentry shop, “where modern CNC machining meets old-world craftsmanship, resulting in some of the most beautiful interior work on the market.”

Tours run every hour with the last starting at 3 p.m. Finished yachts are also on display throughout the day, and several ondustry partners will showcase their latest products. As a licensed builder for JBoats, USWatercraft will also have a new J/22 on display.
