TECHNOLOGY in service of precision

The tools serve one purpose: fewer mistakes. These are the three we use every day, and what they actually change for the yard.

01

CUTTING table

Every piece is cut by an automated table working from digital patterns, to millimetre tolerances. Cutting is the first thing that decides whether a job runs smoothly.

  • No drift The first piece and the hundredth come out identical: long runs never lose precision along the way.
  • Less waste Digital nesting lays patterns on the fabric using every centimetre: fewer metres bought, less offcut.
  • On file Every cut stays archived: a cushion remade three years from now comes out identical, with no new survey.

PROLINER 3D digital measuring

There are no straight walls on board. The Proliner captures every curve of hulls and interiors digitally, right at the yard, while the other trades keep working.

  • Certain measures Digital templating replaces cardboard patterns: what we measure is what we cut.
  • One visit A complete survey in a few hours, with no second trip to double-check: one less interference for the yard.
  • Survey to cut Proliner data goes straight to the cutting table: no transcription, no handover errors.

SKILLED hands

The machines prepare the work; our upholsterers still finish it. Stitching, piping and finishes are judged by eye and by hand, not on a monitor.

  • Built to last Stitching and piping made to live at sea: sun, salt and daily use are part of the brief.
  • Final check Every piece goes back through the hands that sewed it before leaving the atelier: if it does not convince, it is remade.
  • Handed down Three generations of the same trade: experience that prevents problems before they reach the boat.
