Out with the old, in with the new. ⚓⁠
⁠
A fresh tow line built for a superyacht’s tender, replacing a heavily worn line that had reached the end of its working life.⁠
⁠
This new setup features a 26T break load, twin stainless steel thimbles, and protective chafe cover for improved durability and long-term performance.⁠
⁠
When it comes to towing systems, timely replacement and quality construction matter.⁠

Precision matters when it comes to load-bearing hardware.⁠
⁠
For a Martz MYC46, we manufactured a replacement vang bolt after the original had bent under load. Our team machined a new bolt from 316 stainless steel on the lathe, delivering a strong, accurate fit built for the job.⁠
⁠
From problem hardware to finished product — this is the kind of in-house capability that keeps boats moving and systems working as they should.⁠

After completing a circumnavigation of Australia, she came to us for repairs to the in-mast furling system, a full rig inspection and service, and upgrades to key cordage systems—ensuring everything is dialled in and ready for what’s next.⁠

Awesome result and a huge week on the water — congrats 👏

From our side, it was great to be involved in helping get this campaign race-ready.

Great to support dinghies in local waters and see them perform on the world stage.
