Derecktor Connecticut has announced the appointment of James Brewer as General Manager. James has worked as a senior manager at Derecktor for over 20 years, most recently as Project Manager on Cakewalk. He has also been General Manager of Derecktor of Florida and at Rybovich Spencer in West Palm Beach, FL. James has extensive hands on experience with new construction as well as refits on power and sailing yachts up to 100 meters. He is one of the most respected shipyard professionals in the yachting industry
James commented on his new role and the shipyard, “Derecktor CT is uniquely positioned to offer superior skill sets and on-time performance to both yacht and commercial customers because of the depth of in-house new construction capability. The physical plant and hauling capabilities are now being enhanced to permit the servicing of larger vessels which will create a significant competitive advantage, particularly for large yachts. We will reach out to the existing and former customer base to strengthen or re-establish relationships and to identify today’s needs, and tailor our service offerings to better reflect these, both in terms of skill set and competitive pricing.”

Derecktor’s recently expanded dry dock now allows the yard to fully service vessels up to 4000 long tons, 400 feet (122 meters) in length, 82 feet (25 meters) in beam and 20 feet (6 meters) draft. The expanded dry dock will also provide a seamless method of moving these large vessels from the water onto the repair apron or into the yard's main building via the dock and a system of air casters. The expanded dry dock will greatly increase the yard's capacity for repair and refit of multiple vessels during peak periods. James Brewer commented, "The New dry dock not only lets us grow our work load, but let us easily transfer large vessels into our 300 foot building for major refits and other big jobs requiring a covered, climate controlled environment. We can now handle virtually every large vessel."
