Engineering- aeronautical methods

The engineering of a large composite structure such as a super catamaran of 121' is equivalent of calculating the loads an aircraft experiences in flight. Our team's integral members are aeronautical engineers and structural designers that have created race winning 125' monster-cats that are still crossing oceans after nearly one decade of hard service.

Aeroyacht catamarans are built utilizing advanced aeronautical construction techniques employing various composites such as Kevlar and Carbon skins that together provide extreme stiffness for the least weight. Our team employs complex computer programs that model (CFD) Computational Fluid Dynamic calculations and (FIA) Finite Element Analysis maps to match dynamic loads with just the right construction. This avoids the pitfall of overbuilding the boat and making it too heavy. Just like a bridge that needs to be engineered to carry 85% of its weight a catamaran's main structural feature is to support its own mass. The lighter she can be built the less there is to support - and of course the less heavy the catamaran is the more payload she can carry and/or faster she can sail.
