Portsmouth, R.I. (June 23, 2003) – Jim Andersen, a 20-year marine industry professional from Jamestown, R.I., has been named Chief Operating Officer of USWatercraft, located in Portsmouth, R.I.
USWatercraft was established in 1999 and is the exclusive U.S. builder of the internationally famous J/24 sailboat. Its CEO is Randy Borges of the closely affiliated Portsmouth-based marine servicing company Waterline Systems.
At USWatercraft, Andersen will oversee the construction of several lines of boats including the International J/24, International J/22 and the Herreshoff Alerion 26. His goal is to add more products and improve the current product lines.
‘We want to stay as diversified as we can,’ said Andersen, who has spent the past 11 years working at Carroll Marine where he managed Sales, Customer Service and Product Development. ‘We intend to add products that have their own identity and do not compete with those we are presently building.’
