Naval Engineering
First and foremost,
ocean-going
NAVAL ENGINEERING
Our licensed naval architects and engineers carefully study and strategically design every detail for vessel engineering. Safety and stability are fundamental in ensuring performance and lifespan. Owners can be confident knowing that we over-build our yachts, meeting and exceeding the maritime regulation of ABYC, IMO, and Lloyd’s governing bodies.
General Arrangement
Before the design of your yacht begins, the general arrangement specifies the yacht’s size, rooms, and layout. Your requirements and non-negotiables are integrated into the vessel’s aesthetics, resulting in a final product that is as technically sound as tailored to your way of yachting.
Efficiency in Flow
We extensively analyze data from weight studies, propulsion calculations, and stability and strength calculations to specify the right engine and steering system. Hullform studies once done in test tanks and now done digitally allow us to calculate laminar flow ensuring maximum efficiency in water.
System integration
We create and install systems with real world experience and strategic consideration toward specification and layout. All elements need to be accessible for maintenance while seamlessly integrated without disrupting the aesthetics of the vessel. 3D CAD modeling allows translation of the engineering files into molds for custom parts completely unique to the specific yacht.
