| According to a company press release, the decision was made as a result of the rising strength of the Canadian dollar, combined with Pacific Seacraft's desire to expand the business.
"The increasing value of the Canadian dollar seriously affected the revenue and was starting to erode margins," says Allan Poole, president of Saga Marine. "Like many Southern Ontario manufacturers, we have had to seek alternative sources. This move allows us to continue providing a high quality product at a good value price."
Pacific Seacraft has been building yachts for nearly 30 years, including its own range of sailboats, powerboats and the Nordhavn 40 trawler on behalf of Pacific Asian Enterprises (PAE). According to Saga, both the Pacific Seacraft and the Saga brands will be supported with a new customer service department in California.
"The move is an important step for our brand and our customers," says Poole. "Pacific Seacraft's legendary quality of build and experience in the industry will ensure that the Saga product continues to enjoy extremely high quality, but it will also maintain the good value that the line has become known for."
Headquartered in St Catharines, Ontario, Saga Marine launched the first of its 13.3 m (43ft) cruisers 10 years ago and has since added both a 10.7 m (35ft) model and the award-winning Saga 48, all of which were designed by Robert Perry. More recently, Saga added the 12.5 m (41ft) Tony Castro-designed 409, which features a Euro-styled deck. |
