EXAMPLES OF OUR WORK:

RACE OFFSHORE RACE SUPPORT SUPER YACHT NON-MARINE

We delight ourselves in working with the world's best design studios. Boat Developments recognizes and underlines the importance of maintaining a close relationship with the designer at all stages of the building process. Our main areas of expertise have been: / Volvo Ocean Race / Vendee Globe / TP52 circuit / The Americas Cup.

Our company provides a rapid 24 hours service onsite and within the workshop 365 days a year. This was proved very effective during the last Volvo Ocean Race where we supported 4 of the 6 teams involved, with essential manpower and components around the clock. Some of the Items supplied were: / Foils / Steering systems / Lifting arms / Bow Sprit / keel fairings / Rudders

Our experience in the racing sector allows us to think creatively during the building process. At Boat Developments weight reduction and maximum strength are not simply terms to be desired, we understand what goes in to making a good boat. Maintenance reduction, thermal acoustic insulation and work of the highest quality are our mainstays.

Our experience in the marine industry has led us down some interesting and unexpected pathways. Our team of consultants have been involved in some prestigious projects including composite bridges and bespoke sculptures. In order to create unique parts at elevated temperatures we employ a wealth of technical know-how. Our knowledge of expertise is the level needed to achieve mainfold design ends.
