Categories Non classéMEET JOSHUA BIRD, THE NEW ENGLAND SALES MANAGER Post author By Sasha Rouxel Post date 24 June 2024 It is with pleasure that we met Joshua this month at the factory. He is the New England Sales Manager. We learned more about his professional career and the upcoming event: the Iguana Summer Tour.TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF After growing up in the marine industry, and a successful career in IT, I opened up one of the first handful of CrossFit gyms in the world, in 2007. My partners and I started of the trunk of our cars at a park, we would post online consistently about it and people came! They kept coming, and it grew to almost a 400-person-strong community. We outgrew our first space and then settled into a 10,000 sq ft. building. The gym and community is still going strong under new ownership today. I did that for 11 years until 2017, and then I took some time to work for myself from 2017 to 2020.Most recently, I worked for an amphibious boat company as the US Operations Manager. I began by getting my hands dirty as a technician, which, for those starting out, is the best way to learn about anything new. With all my marine experience I proved that I could drive boats, trucks, and trailers- you have to wear many hats in this industry! There is nothing like driving an amphibious boat, I am convinced about its potential to enhance the boating experience. It is also very practical, and makes getting on the water quicker and more accessible.HOW DID YOU GET TO WORK FOR IGUANA YACHTS?Four years ago, I didn’t even know that amphibious boats like ours existed! In my previous job in this field, I learned about Iguana Yachts. Our approach is different with more capability on land than our competitors, coupled with luxury, refinement, and high performance on the water. To once again take on a role in the building of a company, to create success in a new market- was attractive to me. I also love the European design. In North America, boat lines are very traditional and similar, and here is a design that is striking, beautiful, and performs! The battery system that drives the tracks has a low center of gravity in the boat and provides a displacement hull feel- without sacrificing performance. Everyone has been great and welcoming during my first stay here. The first couple of months working here trying to figure out the product and process was challenging.Everyone at Iguana Yachts has been great and welcoming during my first visit to our Normandy shipyard. As with anything new, figuring out a new product and process is challenging- but our team members are dedicated craftspeople and openly share their knowledge. It was my first time in Normandy and my third in France. I have always loved being in France and am eternally curious to know the country better, so it was a great opportunity for me to work for a French company like Iguana Yachts as the New England Iguana Manager. You can simply pack your things, put them on the boat, enjoy your day, and come back in. An amphibious boat simplifies the entire process, giving you what you're after more time on the water with family and friends. You also have the peace of mind that your boat is safely on land, waiting for your next adventure. We will see more Iguana Yachts in America.WHAT ARE THE EVOLUTIONS YOU SEE FOR IGUANA YACHTS IN THE FUTURE AND IN NEW ENGLAND?It’s certainly going to grow. Climate change is undoubtedly having an impact on our coasts, and along with that, impacting marina infrastructure like docks and seawalls. For our family-owned marina business, this is now a key subject we are dealing with, and we are not alone. The amphibious boat removes the need for this infrastructure, which for private homeowners, is becoming too expensive and risky to build if you can even get the proper permits.As for the boats themselves, every Iguana Yacht answers a specific need. I love the versatility of the Sport. It’s a modern design, and perfect for families. The new Bow Rider has a comfortable, social design that will work great in the US market. The Fisher is perfect for Anglers and offers great protection for full days of fishing. It will excel in coastal US waters.LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SUMMER TOUR We are thrilled to announce the Summer Tour in New England, running from the beginning of July to the end of September. The innovative Iguana Commuter will be making stops at iconic locations including New York City, Long Island, Nantucket, Rhode Island, and Maine. Visitors will have the chance to explore the groundbreaking amphibious design of the Iguana Commuter up close. Join us at one of our stops and discover why Iguana Yachts is redefining the yachting experience. Don’t miss this opportunity to see the future of boating this summer!

Categories Non classéMEET CHARLÉLIE, A UNIQUE ROLE IN MAKING TUBES FOR IGUANA RIBS Post author By Clémence Thellier Post date 29 April 2024 TELL US MORE ABOUT YOURSELF About my studies, I completed a baccalaureate technician carpenter fitter which subsequently allowed me to obtain a CAP in cabinetmaking to finish with a certificate in crafts. To validate this diploma, I had to complete an internship and that is how I arrived at Iguana. I had already done internships before and it was during my second year of certification that I arrived here. I arrived at Iguana Yachts in 2019. I subsequently obtained a promise of employment which was reassuring for me in order to be able to find stability. My first mission was in the field of carpentry for Iguana cabins. The opportunity to start working in tubes arose when the launch of the Iguana X100 began, so it was necessary to start producing tubes to build the boats. A position was therefore to be filled to fulfill these missions and I was the person who wanted to take the niche by learning the basics. Regarding the tube, there are several steps such as preparing the patches as well as gluing them. There is also a quality role to ensure that the tube holds but is also waterproof of course to withstand water at sea and climatic conditions. I immediately got along very well with the team, which was an important point for me to feel good about my work.WHAT ARE YOUR MISSIONS AT IGUANA?As stated above, I came as a carpenter, however I am currently carrying out missions related to tubes. The vessels concerned are therefore the X100, X100 White Edition, and the Knight. I had already worked with neoprene which was positive because I already knew one of the basic materials. I was also satisfied to take this role because it gave me an additional skill in my knowledge. The aesthetic aspect immediately attracted me to the tubes but especially the technical side with meticulous gestures which are close to what I knew from my experience in carpentry. HOW DO YOU INSTALL THE TUBE ON THE RIB'S?The process for tubes at Iguana is as follows: we receive a tube with a time-saving manufacturing base. We position the tube on the boat to trace the areas to be sanded to prepare certain areas in particular for gluing this tube. Afterward, I trace the patches and then glue the cuffs on them so that they are ready. I then apply my patches to my tube. You should know that at this moment the tube is still on the ground because all the preparations must be perfect before being able to complete the bonding on the boat. Once everything is validated (patches and cuffs), I glue the tube to the boat. You might think that my mission is complete after this step but I still have to make all the connections between the tube with the bridge, the console, and the bench that we call the lips. Finally, I do the fender part to finalize the turn of the tube. This step is last because the tube can tend to twist during gluing, so I take no risk that the fender will twist too. Of course, there is also cleaning for maximum finishes. To carry out all of these missions I will need approximately 1 week depending on the people who will help me but also the drying time to take into account the color of the tube. On a black tube, the fender will be more complicated to clean than a fender on a gray tube. Some missions were more challenging, for example, we had a boat with tubes that could inflate and deflate so that it could be put into a garage. The most different step was adding valves inside and I didn’t know how to do it at the time. So I had to learn and that was the biggest difficulty to overcome. To me, Iguana can be summed up in three words: team, impressive, and pride. The team aspect is very important to me as we spend all our days working together. It's impressive because we never know what the result will be when we start from scratch, but we always manage to create something amazing. Lastly, I feel proud of what we accomplished. Even though we always strive to do better, it's still astonishing to see what we can create. Interested in joining the team? Check out our latest positions. JOIN THE TEAM
