IN MEMORIAM: Frits de Voogt

IN MEMORIAM: Frits de Voogt

Haarlem, 21 August 1927 – Haarlem, 20 December 2023

Frits was the grand master of De Voogt Naval Architects for decades. Together with his team, he shaped the dreams of demanding Feadship customers. The designs were unique and are still the basis of today's Feadship yachts. Even after his retirement, he remained involved and interested in yacht building, always astute and always modest.

Frits was a mentor of the current leaders of Feadship. We bow deeply to this cheerful, friendly and sometimes strict giant.
