Evolution of a long-term technical collaboration

The cooperation between MEL Composites, Sasga Yachts, and the naval architect Barracuda Yacht Design began with the development of the Menorquín 42, where construction processes were optimized and a more efficient, safe, and cost-effective infusion strategy was established.

The success of this first implementation laid the groundwork for subsequent projects, such as the Menorquín 54, later extending to vessels up to 68 feet in length.

Comprehensive technical support in infusion processes

MEL Composites' approach is based on a comprehensive model that includes the supply of customized material kits tailored to Sasga Yachts' specifications, as well as training and on-site technical assistance during infusion processes.

This complete package incorporates resins, fabrics, Aircell cores, consumables, and specific tools, ensuring the correct integration of materials and optimizing the structural performance of the vessels.

Optimization of the manufacturing process

According to Eduardo Galofré, CEO of MEL Composites, the key to success lies in the correct planning and compatibility of materials:

“Understanding the synergies between materials and consumables is essential to harness the full potential of resin infusion. Our collaboration with Sasga Yachts reflects our commitment to tailored technical solutions that enhance efficiency and performance.”

For its part, Sasga Yachts highlights infusion as a turning point in its production processes, allowing for the manufacture of lighter, stronger, and more efficient hulls while improving working conditions in the shipyard.

Innovation and tradition in balance

With a shared vision of innovation and excellence, MEL Composites and Sasga Yachts continue to advance the evolution of shipbuilding, combining classic design with advanced composite material technologies to achieve a new standard in performance, quality, and efficiency.
