Speaking in Miami, J Craft’s Johan Attvik said, “The US response to J Craft has been simply phenomenal. We have received positive comments from customers, show-goers and even people passing by on the sidewalk. The Torpedo’s combination of classic good looks, power and modern technology really seem to have struck a chord with American buyers. As well as the sales made on the stand, we have a significant number of additional leads to follow up on. We are delighted with how the first show has gone and the team is now looking forward to the Palm Beach Boat Show in a few weeks time.”
