WORK HISTORY
President @Van Gorkom Yacht Design Llc
Geoff Van Gorkom is an Australian citizen who has been residing in the United States since 1984. He graduated from the University of Michigan in 1989 with a degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. Prior to establishing Van Gorkom Yacht Design in 1994, Geoff acquired an enormous amount of design experience from being involved with hi-tech projects such as: the design of the IOR Maxi, Matador2, the 1992 Americas Cup winner America3, and the structural design and in office project management of IMS 50 footers. This experience has been broadened by working on commercial projects for tug and barge structures; consulting for a firm specializing in vibration analysis of marine power plants; and the research and design of new production and custom rigging parts including the analysis and testing of strength of materials.The 1992 Seahorse Design Competition proved to be a milestone for Van Gorkom, with a first place win for the design of a Whitebread 30 (Mount Gay 30), an inshore/offshore, water ballasted racing boat. In May 1998, VGYD splashed their first commission, the VG-Mount Gay 30, which proved to be an extremely successful design and a great all round performance racer. This boat firmly established Geoff Van Gorkom as a player in the field of performance sailboat design.Since that time, Geoff Van Gorkom has been broadening the scope of his professional interests by becoming involved in many diverse aspects of the marine industry such as composite engineering, forensic analysis and super yacht design. VGYD now has three divisions within the company specializing in \"Small Boat & Yachts\",\"Super Yachts\", and \"Refit & Restoration\".
