The safety,
reliability and comfort of any yacht or powerboat is only as good
as its weakest link. Therefore selection of the most compatible equipment,
whether it be motors, spars, rigging, sails, deckgear, electronics
for a specific design, concept is all important.
The ocean miles covered in recent years has been an exellent research
and development exercise for this design office in equipment testing
and evaluation.
It has been a process of gradual elimination of equipment that has
not gone the required distance, while some others have stood out because
of their reliability. |
At the advanced
study print stage of a custom design, preferred types/brands of equipment
can be listed. In the case of a stock design this information will
already be on hand.
Catalogues for all major international brands of equipment are available
in New Zealand for prospective clients if they wish to be involved
in selection. |
