Winter garden installed on 76-metre superyacht:

VABO Composites supports every aspect of carefree refit

VABO Composites has successfully designed, constructed, and installed a custom composite roof for the winter garden of a 76-metre superyacht as part of an extensive refit in southern Europe. This intricate project highlights VABO’s expertise in high-quality composite superstructures and its full-service support from design through to installation.

The composite roof was a pivotal feature in the refit yard’s vision to create an all-weather outdoor space for the yacht, providing comfort and durability. VABO partnered with the designer early on, ensuring seamless integration and accurate construction methods. The company managed pre-engineering, FEM analysis, strength calculations, and class certification for this project.

Fabricated at VABO’s state-of-the-art Emmeloord facility, the roof traveled to its final destination via Van Wieren Special Transport. VABO’s installation experts completed the roof and windbreaker attachment on-site without welding, integrating it seamlessly into the yacht’s aluminium superstructure. The project concluded with satisfaction from the yacht’s owners.

Specialist Expertise for Complex Refits

This project underscores VABO Composites’ capability to deliver fast, seamless refits for superyacht clients, managing complex projects and collaborating with designers and partners to ensure quality and compliance. VABO’s flexibility allows it to initiate engineering and production while vessels remain operational, minimizing downtime for owners.

Beyond custom yacht components, VABO Composites is also recognized for its fire-resistant composite doors and hatches. As the company continues to expand, it is seeking skilled technical staff to join its team. Interested candidates are encouraged to reach out directly to VABO for opportunities.
