Christensen Shipyards is a custom fibreglass-hull motor yacht builder located in Vancouver, Washington, United States.
Founded in 1983,[1] the yard is located on a 7acre marina, and contains 180,000 square feet (17,000 m2) of climate controlled manufacturing space. Sister company RECS (Renewable Energy Composite Solutions), occupies 10,000 square feet (930 m2), manufacturing wind turbine and hydrokinetic composite component fabrication.[1]
Hull 026 was delivered to golfer Tiger Woods in summer 2006. It was specified by Woods, but owner-checked and with interior colour schemes chosen by his then fiancee Elin Nordegren,[2] the 155 feet (47 m) yacht was registered in the Cayman Islands as Privacy. The $20 million, 6,500 square feet (600 m2) vessel features a master suite, six staterooms, a theatre, gym, and Jacuzzi, and sleeps 21 people. Registered in the Cayman Islands, the boat was built for Woods by Christensen Shipyards, a Vancouver, Washington-based luxury yacht builder.[3] During ordering and construction, the yacht was covered by a strict non-disclosure agreement, meaning that details of the yacht specification and owner would not be released. After details leaked to various nautical publications and later gossip columns, Woods successfully sued Christensen, and reached an out of court settlement.
