We can offer various different options for yacht cradles and yacht tenders cradles depending on the availability of the hull geometry of the yacht.
Option A, we take a splash moulding from the hull which is a little more old fashioned and agricultural or Option B, if the client has access to the 3D model of the hull geometry then we are able to CNC machine the cradles to fit.
Tender cradles, we have done various different options depending on the design brief from the client and are usually made from GRP / Foam /E-glass construction.
These cradles generally would be on display on the deck of a superyacht so would normally be finished to a superyacht standard.
Yacht cradles for larger vessels would generally require a design brief and a design budget prior to manufacture unless the client has a pre-existing design.
These cradles generally consist of composite splashes and steel or plywood frames.
These cradles are generally quite large and heavy unless they are for a racing yacht client.
