John Canada founded Ocean 5 Naval Architects in 2007, arguably the worst time in history to start a maritime company as the industry was just entering the worst downturn in a generation. But more than 10 years later, and with the industry still in recover mode, Canada and his company are still stand- ing. Ocean5 has become synonymous with sport? sh, luxury, performance and composite high speed small craft naval architecture, and the company’s in- ternational presence is founded on patrol craft, mega yachts and performance boats including a 30-m custom yacht designed in Holland and built in Turkey.
