Composites, in our case mostly carbon & fiberglass with epoxy resin, are all around us (on board the performance sailing yacht) but this time we went onto unknown grounds - Bio-composites. Our friend Erwan got us "hooked" up and there was no way around, we had to try it ourself. The idea of using natural fibers for a composite structure was just too appealing for DIY and we love the result.

The boatyard decided to mount our ceiling panels with a system of tubes and clips, but in tight places they have difficulties to fit their components. Therefore they found a smart idea on how to do this and they asked us for some help cutting the frames with the CNC. This is now time to make a lot of Dust!!!!

This is our latest D.I.Y. CNC project and a "dusty one" - the goal is to fill the "empty" space inside the new rudder bearing bucket system on board Moonwave with lightweight foam blocks. This will cause additional lift and buoyancy at the aft of the boat. We are custom making foam blocks that snug the shape of the rudder buckets. As the foam prevents water to fill up the space, this is improve the performance under sail as it will reduce drag induced by the transom.
