| Born on a gaff schooner, Olivier van Meer sailed over 100,000 miles before he became the youngest licensed captain in the Netherlands. He produced his first designs, often inspired by the maritime environment of his sailing area, as a teenager and during his early professional sailing career on yachts and professional sailing and motor vessels |
In 1985, Olivier decided to follow his dreams and founded the OVM office for naval architecture, design and engineering, surrounding himself with specialists who shared his passion. This team represents the OVM signature – the search for the ultimate lines, up-to-date know how, and perfect design skills, combined with practical experience over many nautical miles. |
