Philosophy

Craftsmanship
with heritage.

Historic yachts carry the knowledge of their time within them – in their lines, construction and details. To preserve them, or to recreate them from original drawings, you first have to understand what was once there.
Our approach
Some things have no shortcut.To do justice to the original, you have to be prepared to go all the way.
Originality

Understand before making changes.

Historic yachts are more than their visible form. Their construction, proportions and details embody an approach to boatbuilding that cannot be replaced. That is why our work begins with close observation: What is original? What has been documented? What truly belongs to this boat?

Drawings & construction

The original sets the direction.

When recreating historic yachts, original drawings and lines are our starting point. They determine not only the silhouette, but also proportion, construction and character. Our aim is not to quote the past, but to make it real again through uncompromising craftsmanship.

Craft & material

The original takes shape in the details.

As a master boatbuilding workshop, we combine craftsmanship and experience with the ambition to understand and execute historic constructions and their details with precision.

Wood is not a decorative material to us. It is structure, surface and history at once. Growth, grain and quality determine where a piece belongs and how it must be worked.

In restoration, originality does not mean replacing as much as possible. It means understanding and preserving existing fabric, intervening only where necessary. Every decision must be measured against the boat itself.

Precision is not found in grand gestures, but in decisions that later appear self-evident.

This work takes time. Not for its own sake, but because some answers only emerge when material, construction and historic sources are considered together. The result is a boat whose heritage needs no explanation – because it can be seen in its lines and details.
