Erich Goetz is a builder of sailing vessels used in the America's Cup
, owner of Goetz Custom Boats, and co-founder of the Resolute Racing Shells
company. Eric has been known throughout his career as a leader in boatbuilding technology and was one of the first builders to use carbon fiber to increase stiffness and remove weight from racing sailing vessels.
Erich Goetz founded Eric Goetz Custom Sail Boats Inc. d.b.a. "Goetz" in 1975 and has since set the standard for building state-of-the-art composite boats. What differentiates a Goetz boat from any other is the unerring attention to detail, whether in construction techniques or the quality of craftsmanship that is unsurpassed in the industry. Through every phase of every project, Goetz's "no-stone-unturned” philosophy is coupled with leading edge technology to produce the lightest, fastest, most durable yachts possible – impeccably finished to suit the purpose.
Involvement at the highest competitive levels has required that Goetz constantly be on the leading edge of boat-building technology and continuously seeking new ways to build faster, stronger boats. Considerable effort is put into research and development; through ongoing experimentation and association with marine and aerospace engineering, Goetz has consistently improved its abilities to meet the most demanding design criteria.
