Superyacht shipyard: Palmer Johnson cuts job

"Vanquish" for sale with Gaspard Yacht

Palmer Johnson Yachts said Friday it cut its work force because two yacht orders were pushed back to 2010.

The pres release said that seven yachts had been ordered for 2009, but two orders were delayed until 2010. However, it said no orders had been canceled. With 375 employees and 126 subcontractors working in Sturgeon Bay, the shipyard delivered six yachts in 2008.

The two second-hand 120ft Palmer Johnson "Vanquish" and "Stanley" are for sale for a long time now.
