Renowned expertise
Hull is the boat's DNA.
OCQUETEAU manufactures all its hulls in infusion to deliver stronger, lighter hulls.
The sandwich hull is made of roving-mat fiberglass fabric and balsa cores.
Fabrics and cores are placed in boat mold.
Applying fabrics
Balsa wood reinforcements
Balsa in the bottom of the hull increases rigidity without increasing weight.
Infusion-treated, each balsa square is independent and water-resistant.
Vacuum infusion circulates resin evenly through the layers of fiberglass, balsa sandwich or honeycomb structure which has the advantage of strengthening hull without generating a increase in weight.
A tarpaulin is laid around the mold.
Wood workshop
Longitudinal and transverse members are skeleton of the hull.
They are used not only to reinforce critical points, but also to secure accessories such as fuel tanks and bilge pumps...

Laying varangues
Boat decking
Once hull finalized, equipment is installed before decking: furniture modules, power and water systems, wiring harnesses and engine in the case of inboard.
With all the bulky or heavy equipment in place, the boat can be decked.
