At Solico, we often receive requests to tackle specific concerns related to various yacht components. We handle abroad spectrum of items, including rigging components like bowsprits, masts and booms; hull components such as transom doors, hull side doors, and rudders; as well as accessories like boarding ladders and sunawning systems. We also focus on specialised details like lifting arrangements or structural modifications, such as adjusting bulkheads to accommodate new equipment.
Optimisation Strategies
When focussing on specific components, the level of analysing detail can be increased substantially. Increasing such detail gives the ability to utilise material properties to the max. This is often done with material testing, assuring the assumed properties are realistic, and analysing with the Finite Element Method. This results in the most efficient structure for given requirements possible.

Cutting Edge Solutions
We are developing advanced software solutions for generating draping files, enabling precise machine cutting (kitting) of composite fabrics. Paired with laser projection, this enhances fiber placement accuracy for complex parts and refines FEM analysis by incorporating real fiber orientations.
We are seeking clients who are interested in collaborating on this innovative approach to improve both accuracy and performance in composite structures.
