It has been a long time ago, since news has been posted on this ‘News’ page. It isn’t because there was no news, but simply too much work to also pay attention to the website. In the autumn of 2021 I already wrote about the Sine Metu 41, whose hull is now ready and transported to Belgium. In China, meanwhile, the molds for the TEN2 were being built, which is now finally almost ready. In the fall of 2021, we were also commissioned to adapt the RSC1900, where the yard started the building process  in February 2022. For an adapted interior, the construction was adapted and a new retractable keel was drawn. Simultaneously with the RSC1900, we were commissioned to adapt the Orion 49, which is being built at ‘De Gebroeders van Enkhuizen’ in Makkum. This sailing yacht also got a new keel with a retractable daggerboard and we moved a new hybrid engine under the deckhouse.

In addition to all this work, the work at Saffier Yachts continued. I started working at this yard in October 2021 and. In addition to design new models, I will also be involved in the production of the Saffiers. I will report more about this in a while.

TEN2-assembly

In Dalian / China, hard work is underway on the TEN2. Due to large orders for the other DC types, the development of the building moulds was halted for some time, but now all moulds for the interior parts are ready and the first interior parts have also been produced. Hull, bulkheads and interior parts are assembled and now the technical part begins, such as the electrics, engine installation, fuel tank, and the water ballast system. Because China is still closed due to Covid, we also have to check the building process with only the photos, but these photos look promising.

  

Orion Enksail 49

The construction of the Orion Enksail 49 has started at ‘De Gebroeders van Enkhuizen’. The customers are well-known Canadian vloggers and you can follow the latest developments in design choices, hardware choices, construction, etc. on their facebook page. Because we had so many small adjustments in terms of interior, installation and the keel, we developed a completely new cutting package.
