Quotes

“I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally.” – Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

‘I got confidence in my ability as a multi-disciplinary designer, and it was the start of what has gone on for the rest of my life.’ – MARTIN FRANCIS
