Hell, even really nice trawlers like Selene, Nordhavn, Ocean Alex, etc are made overseas.
Well its not them its me. I buy nothing that isnt made in a country that has human rights and environmental standards that meet my approval. china is the bottom of the list. I'm partial to US, Canadian and some of the other countries of the America's excluding mexico and a couple of others. If i cannot find a product made in a yes country i then look at the company that makes the item with the USA and Canada being number one again and then on down the list. Japan because of their insistance upon whaling for food even though they signed the internationaal treaty banning whaling ranks just above china. Dont get me wrong, i have nothing against the people just their goverments policies. Shoot, many of my colleges were phd's from C..opps china
