Leading modern classic yacht design and build company Spirit Yachts has announced it is hosting its biannual Recruitment Open Day at its yard in Ipswich, Suffolk on Friday 15th May. The event forms part of Spirit Yachts' drive to recruit experienced boatbuilders and establish a pipeline of talent for the future.

Spirit Yachts Managing Director, Karen Underwood, commented, "With a yard full of projects in build and significant client interest ahead of the launch of our first P50 motor yacht this summer, we are expanding our talented team. In particular, we are looking for experienced boatbuilders and people who have a passion for working with wood."

Spirit Yachts is opening its doors from 10am - 4pm on Friday 15th May. Applicants will have a tour of the yard and gain an exclusive insight into the company's design and build process.

Karen continued, "Whilst the marine industry skills shortage shows no signs of abating, we held two recruitment days last year resulting in full time employment for seven new team members. These events give us the opportunity to find new talent, and for potential employees to have a look around, get to know us, and see if Spirit Yachts could be the next chapter in their career."

Current projects in build at Spirit Yachts include an R53 sailing yacht, a C78 cruising yacht, and two new P50 motor yachts - one of each variant, the Sport and the Coupé. The highly anticipated first P50 Sport launches this summer, following the launch of a custom reimagination of a Q Class yacht.

Attendance is by appointment only and interested attendees can sign up for the open day via
