Join us for an in-depth exploration of Elan Yachts’ advanced composite technology, celebrating 75 years of innovation in yacht construction. In this video, we’re taking you on a tour through rich history of boat building and get to know you with sophisticated techniques behind our composite work, from the pioneering days of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) in the 1960s to the advanced application of Vacuum Assisted Infusion Lamination (VAIL) technology in 2003. You will see how we create hulls, decks and components of Elan Yachts and learn about the intricate VAIL process, that ensures even resin distribution, optimal mechanical properties and significant environmental benefits. We also take you through the steps of creating a fore laminate, which is crucial for preventing osmosis and achieving flawless surface of the yacht. Explore the science and strategy behind selecting and layering various types of fibers and cell foams to construct yachts that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but exceptionally strong and durable.
This 2018 model Quicksilver Activ 555 Cabin is the perfect day boat, featuring a social cockpit layout and a cuddy cabin for overnight stays. It is equipped with a Mariner F60 outboard engine with 81 hours registered on the last service in July 2022, with very little use since. The boat has had two owners from new and has only been used on the River Thames. Antifoul was last done in July 2022. A River Thames boat licence is in place until 2025. The Boat Safety Certificate is valid until May 2026. The name of the boat will be retained. Lying Chertsey. https://www.bateswharf.co.uk/boat-for-sale/quicksilver/555-activ/2018/2825315/
The Jeanneau Velaasco 43, introduced at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, is certainly not what one usually expects to see when they hear there's a new Jeanneau in town. But this sailboat builder has proven it can come up with interesting powerboat designs, as well, and when reviewer Zuzana Prochazka goes through this boat she finds excellent use of space, and a flybridge that can be custom-configured on the spur of the moment. Find out what else Zuzana found, in this First Look Video. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/12/jeanneau-velaasco-43-first-look-video/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com.
