STRUCTURAL
If you want your yacht to be safer, stronger, faster or
easier to use, call Marine Solutions!
Marine Solutions has experience in a wide range of
structural repairs, renovations and modifications. We
understand the construction and design of yachts. This
allows us to engineer and produce the best structural
element, repair to original or better strength, or modify to
create better performance or reduced draft. We incorporate
classical and traditional marine materials such as wood,
fiberglass, stainless steel, and bronze as well as modern
high tech materials such as carbon fiber, Kevlar, epoxy,
special steel and aluminum alloys
and structural foam to achieve the desired and required
project goal. |

Fiberglass
|
Custom
fabrication of structural elements in fiberglass
including custom molds. Design and installation of
arches, radar masts, supports, ribs frames, and swim
platforms. |

Repair
|
A damaged boat
is no fun. We can do all manner of fiberglass
repair, underwater hull repair, gel coat
refinishing. We can repair damaged and weakened
portions of your boat for your pleasure and safety. |

|
Composites
|
When strength to
weight ratio is important for speed or
stability we can make use of advanced composites
incorporating such materials as carbon fiber,
Kevlar, high density foams, balsa core,
honeycomb, Nidacore, polyester, vinylester and epoxy
resins in conjunction with techniques like
vacuum bagging for the strongest and lightest
results. |

|
Metal
Fabrication |
If it can be
made out of metal we can build it. Marine
Solutions can design or build to design any
type of custom metalwork. Some examples of custom
metal work include radar poles, traveller bridges
and arches, struts, structural supports, custom
window frames, chain plates, floor beams, fuel and
water tanks, and custom davits. Materials
available include steel, stainless steel, aluminum,
bronze. |

Keels:
Modification &
Draft Reduction |
Working in
conjunction with naval architects and marine
engineers we can offer keel modifications to
increase stability, reduce draft and/or increase
speed. This process can be as simple as adding a
lead bulb or involving modification or
replacement of the keel with a new lower
center of gravity high lift , low drag design. |
