Since 1951, Striker Yacht Corporation has been an industry leader in yacht and shipbuilding in steel and aluminum construction. Striker was the first to produce an all plate vessel in 1956. Other famous builders of the time were steel or wood, Broward, Burger or Feadship to name a few. They quickly saw the advantage to aluminum. In fact, most of what the world knows about marine grade aluminum came from Striker as you will read in this site.
