McGruer & Co.

McGruer&Co is located in Rutherglen near Glasgow. This is the British shipyard that is probably one of the oldest in the world. The McGruer company was opened at the end of the XIX century. However, the vessels with the same name arrived in England with William the Conqueror.

The shipyard built different ships. The heyday of the company was during the period from 1920 to 1990. At this time, the shipyard built several ships for the respectable and well-known persons. The shipbuilder produced the royal barge Britannia, built the yacht for the Sultan of Zanzibar, designed Gareloch One Design. Also the shipyard during this period of time switched to the construction of boats by cold forming. It allowed to make lightweight hulls without sacrificing strength.

The yard still continues to build the ships by cold forming. With the help of this technology they are producing the racing yachts. The company has gained notoriety when designing and launching the fast and safe ships. But today McGruer&Co does not belong to the former owners. The descendants of the companyХs founder sold the shipyard in 2000 and went into another business.

The construction of any vessel can be ordered at the shipyard. Preference is given to the lightweight sport yachts. The company has extensive experience in the construction of luxury ships for the respectable customers. Therefore, you can safely entrust the shipbuilder with the production of one of these boats.

Some of the ships that were released earlier at the shipyard can be found on sale. They are represented by the brokers. Very old ships have undergone full modernization.
