VESSEL
- SAILING YACHT REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
|
 |
For many years
Latitud 42º Charters has been dedicated to the reparation of ships,
be it structural repairs to a hurricane-struck yacht or repairs to
individual vessel parts. At times a ship must be structurally rebuilt
practically in its entirety, due to simple everyday use throughout
many years. If the vessel is worth the effort, an entire rebuild may
be of interest, allowing the return to sailing in a practically new
boat.
We work in close collaboration with
Marc Tormo, specialist in composite and carbon materials and vacuum
techniques. A long experience with important regata yachts are testimony
to the quality of work.
Examples of other types of work realized
include hull modifications to better the vessels' rating or further
modifications to the deck.
We also offer repairs and modifications
to normal vessels: one of our best-selling products is the "jupette".
Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the keel to clean the bolts
or eliminate unwanted water tracks, or simply to modify chests, add
prow propellors, improve anchor shafts and other anchorage systems.
Many times, whilst realizing long-term
work on a vessel, it is worthwhile sanding the hull to give it a preventative
osmosis treatment and in the process dry out the fibre properly: improve
and care for the vessel.
We are also specialized in seeking
out wrecked vessels in order to repair them and, in doing so, achieve
good quality yet economic boats. Such vessels may be found here as
well as in America and, following an initial repair, be brought to
Spain to finish the alterations.
Do not doubt in consulting us with any
ideas which may occur to you.
