A delivered vessel under sail

A yacht is 15,000 components and a lot of judgement

Traditional Indonesian boatbuilding, European naval architecture and project management, in one team with a combined eighty years behind it.

Our strength is who is in the room

The collaboration between a master shipwright and a naval architect is where these boats actually come from.

One holds five generations of intuition about wood and sea. The other holds hydrodynamics and class rules. Neither would build this boat alone.

Every project runs through both, which is why a traditional hull form ends up with modern stability numbers rather than a compromise between the two.
