Custom build
Three hulls fit in the shed, but each has its own team and its own date. We do not build in batches.
The point
Moving a bulkhead on the drawing is an afternoon. Moving it after lamination is a month.
So the drawing phase runs three months and does not get shortened: heights, walkways, systems and weights are settled while an eraser is still the only cost.
After the first panel is cut the design freezes. Changes stay possible — on a custom boat they always happen — but they enter as written variations, with their own price and their own days.
How it runs
01
General arrangement, weights and systems. You sign when all three agree.
3 months
02
Jig, frames, lamination and deck. This is the part nobody ever sees again.
5 – 7 months
03
Engines, shafts, electrical and hydraulic. Before the furniture, always.
3 – 5 months
04
Joinery, leather, paint. This is where she starts to look like the drawing.
3 – 6 months
05
Sea trials, tuning, a real passage. Then handover.
2 weeks

They come before any conversation about fabrics and colours. The rest can wait; these cannot.

Questions
Twenty per cent on signature, then four stage payments tied to verifiable milestones — hull closed, systems tested, fit-out complete, handover.
Each stage is paid after an inspection, not on a calendar date.
Yes, and it happens often. We build to third-party drawings provided there is a single technical contact who owns the decisions.
The contract carries a daily penalty after thirty days of delay not caused by the client.
In our last ten launches it happened once, over an engine delivery.
Whenever you like, with a day’s notice. At the five stage payments the inspection is written into the contract.
First meeting
An hour among open hulls says more than any presentation. Numbers come after.
