One year of disputes, then the agreement. Hanse and Pardo Yachts (also famous for its Grand Soleil sailboats) have “made peace.” (Right in the photo, Pardo 43, left, Fjord 42)
The German shipyard, through the Fjord brand, had sued Pardo Yachts in the Genoa court on charges that it had copied the Fjord 42, in some substantial details, in the making of the Pardo 43 (which was unexpectedly successful due to its innovative solutions).
