This is a tale of a round-the-world entrepreneur-cum-yachtsman who left his native United States in 1964 on a long voyage that would eventually lead him to his most recent port of call, La Ciotat, and the purchase of Classic Works, a company specialized in the restoration and refit of classic and more modern yachts. Erik Wirta, the new owner of the company, located within the famous Mediterranean shipyard -now a cluster of excellence, tells us more about his adventure and new venture.
