✨𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗸 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗮𝗿! Last week, KM Yachtbuilders had the pleasure of participating in Techniek Tastbaar in Leeuwarden—a fantastic event showcasing the world of craftsmanship and technology to young minds and their families. At our stand, visitors got a firsthand look at how a yacht is built, explored the techniques behind our custom-built aluminum yachts, and even tried their hand at craftsmanship by assembling a small wooden boat model. It was inspiring to see so much enthusiasm for technical skills and innovation—perhaps we met some future shipbuilders! ⚓ A big thank you to everyone who joined us. We loved sharing our passion for craftsmanship and yachtbuilding! __ 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗮𝗿𝗱?
