I may be wrong,but if you think about it Doug Smith has made his fortune
and now wants to build a boat he can truely be proud of.
A man like that has to be busy doing something,so I beleive it has probably rejuvenated him to be building boats again and that should prove to be a very good thing for the future of Checkmate Boats

It sounds like it's a labour of love for him.
