We firstly use advanced computer modelling
software to model the boat hulls. The exported shapes are
then exported to the CAD package and nested into sheets
for cutting on our in-house CNC Router and / or CNC
Plasma machine.
We use Maxsurf Naval Architecture software for the Vessel
Development, Marine Computations and Plate Development.

We also use Rhino 3D Modelling software for Vessel
Modelling, Rendering and Schematics.

After the plates are developed and nested, the CAD files
are sent to our cutting machines. With our own CNC
Routing facilities, we are able to design, cut and
manufacture virtually any developable shape in Aluminium
and / or steel.
The cut shapes are marked as well as being cut, and all
intersecting lines, ie. stringers, frames, seat positions
and side pockets etc.., are marked for assembly.
All cut components are placed in our jigs and tack
welded. We tack the bottom sheets to the frames, and
stringers, then fit the sides and transom.
The top section, floors, gunnels, cabin, etc.. are easily
assembled on our mobile trolleys after the hull bottom
has been welded and removed from the jig.
