Right next to Seaway is Elan, also a boatbuilding company and 10km further up the basin in Jesenice are 2 more boatyards


Oh, one more thing. Shipman yachts have a retractable keel so they can dock in harbors too shallow for other sailboats.

Retractable keels are the way to go, especially if you want to get off the beaten path for some secluded privacy. We had a Peterson 44 with a cutway keel drafting 6'3". Our choices were mostly if not always limited to anchoring with the rest of the herd.
