We pride ourselves on versatility and limitless potential, working from smaller fiberglass Ciessevi windsurf fins, to custom racing and cruising keels in any type of lightweight steel, draft or construction. Our carpentry keels are produced with numerically controlled bent sheet metal with up to 25mm thickness, allowing us to respect the geometries of the project while keeping cost in hindsight. Consequently, we can create the ideal solution for production boats or when the “take it easy” has the upper hand on performance. The sheets are cut without any thermal stresses, and are cut by water or laser for smaller sheets. Assembly and welding are carried out by qualified personnel who possess a licence that enables them to use specific welding materials. We work with the customer in two main ways; we can work on supplied products, or we can propose a custom product. This product is constructed according to the customer’s needs, starting with a design that considers the structural calculations, and ending with a finished product that could possibly already be assembled with the bulb. We also use surface treatments such as sandblasting and depositing the primer, which is given a moment before atmospheric agents begin to attack the surface. We can supply the classic bean to be covered with composite shells or pre-shaped foams to be laminated. Thanks to our special collaborations with avant-garde companies for milled products, we are able to focus much of our attention to this sector. Our fleet of machines are consistently updated with new models and instructions, allowing us to operate at the pinnacle of new technology and compete in both the quality of workmanship and cost. The raw materials that we use for these projects include Strenx and 17-4 PH, however we are happy to also work on specific requests arriving at the formulation of material and the production of billets with the mechanical characteristics required by the designers. With the use of these materials, the forging process will give the billet its desired shape. After, the billet undergoes milling for the various roughing and finishing operations, such as the unique creation of the Pegs 60’ bean in 17-4 PH, 1m long, 4.2 for a canting, lifting and turning keel. One of our trophies items, the +39 blade, is skillfully milled from a block of mysterious steel that arrived from planet Mars.
