2 The history of Hampton Yachts begins in Taiwan 50 years ago where the Chen Family built the famous Formosa line of sailing yachts under the direction of the family s patriarch, C.Y. Chen. Mr. Chen was also a founder of the Taiwan Yacht Industry Association. Over the years more than 2000 boats were built by the Formosa Boat Building Company. An extraordinary number of these yachts are still plying the oceans of the world today - a tribute to the talented Taiwanese craftsmen that built them, and a family tradition of quality that continues through to today. In 1992 the Hampton Yacht Building Company was established and was one of the first Taiwanese companies to start yacht building in China. Over the next number of years Jeff Chen, Managing Director, and C.Y. Chen s son, staffed key positions in the new Shanghai facility with the very best skilled craftsmen from the top yards in Taiwan. With the passing of C. Y. Chen, Jeff Chen together with a select few investors and the Chen Family, expanded on his father s vision. Jointly they built the high tech facilities of today, and initiated the development of the very successful Endurance LRC series, which garnered international praise. Today Hampton Yachts employs over 200 skilled craftsmen, finish carpenters, designers, engineers and naval architects. Formosa 44 s in Taiwan Boatyard, Taiwan While Hampton Yachts heritage began in Taiwan, the company s success today, is very much a contemporary story. When the world-wide sailboat market started to soften, Hampton Yachts turned to Motor Yacht design and construction. Many of these new motor yachts were designed in-house under the able and talented direction of Jim Chen. As success followed success, Naval Architect, Howard Apollonio was engaged to consult on new designs. One of the results of this ongoing collaboration, with considerable input from Hampton Dealers, has resulted in the Hampton Hybrid Hull that became the basis of the very successful Endurance Long Range Cruiser series. And more recently, a collaboration with renown yacht designer, J.C. Espinosa resulted in the new Hampton 830/860 and 780 Motor Yachts. None of this success would have been possible without the unwavering commitment to quality; in design, construction engineering and craftsmanship. A commitment started 50 years ago in Taiwan, by C.Y. Chen and carried-on today through the leadership of his son, Jeff Chen and a host of carefully chosen craftsmen, artisans and a worldwide dealer network. Step aboard any Endurance LRC (Long Range Cruiser), and you are immediately surrounded in luxurious, air-conditioned comfort, gorgeously enhanced by Hampton s signature craftsmanship. But the real secret to the Endurance LRC success lies in her Hampton Hybrid Hull. Developed by renown licensed professional naval architect Howard Apollonio, with significant input from Hampton Dealers, this hull was thoroughly tank tested; which demonstrated the Hampton Hybrid Hull s superior efficiency over a wide range of speeds and its exceptional seakeeping and ride quality in rough seas. These boats have been designed and evaluated to meet licensed passenger vessel stability standards of the US Coast Guard; which go well beyond normal yacht standards. Each and every Endurance LRC is, and has been, incline stability tested, showing that they exceed the stability standards of the Coast Guard for commercial ocean service, in light and fully loaded conditions: proof of concept and a tribute to both designer and builder. For owners it means they can have the confidence their Endurance LRC is up to the challenge of long range cruising, and to voyage in style, comfort and safety. A new Hampton Yacht emerges from the new facilities in Shanghai. Hampton Yachts facilities in Shanghai, today.
