Stability
The stability of a vessel is the strength of its resistance to heeling or capsizing. Several aspects of stability are assessed, from its basic stability when sitting upright, to the angle it will roll to before flooding takes place. We are able to carry out every stage of calculating the stability for you - from the inclining experiment to submission for official approval.
Conversions
There are many different types of conversion, from converting to a new type of fishing, through adding a new shelter deck or wheelhouse, right up to converting a boat for a completely new purpose, such as carrying cargo or leisure cruising. The procedure for any conversion depends on the extent of the work and the final purpose of the vessel.
We provide layout and construction drawings, specifications and stability calculations for all kinds of conversions, and we can talk through your ideas and requirements to make sure that the final result is just what you intended.
Efficient Project Management
Your project can be handled from concept to completion by our office including concept development visualisation, tender process, structural and ergonomic design, overseeing build and project management. It is our aim that by offering a complete and transparent process the owner and builder benefit from a smoother running project and a vessel to be proud of.
