Sailing Yacht Performance Enhancements
Get more speed, finer control, and lower fuel burn with a purpose-built upgrade plan. Wear, sub-optimal rig tune, and dated systems all chip away at performance. We diagnose the whole package—rig, sails, hull, appendages, and onboard tech—then implement targeted fixes that deliver measurable gains.
What we optimize
1) Rigging & Mast Tune

1) Rigging & Mast Tune
- Precision shroud/stay tensioning for correct mast bend and rake
- Low-stretch standing/running rigging upgrades
- Replacement of worn turnbuckles, terminals, spreaders
- Typical results: straighter entry, cleaner leech, less heel for the same drive, higher VMG upwind.
- Premium antifouling and hull fairing to cut skin friction
- Keel/rudder alignment checks and foil-smooth finishing
- Professional polish for a perfectly wet-out surface
- Typical results: lower drag, faster acceleration out of tacks, better helm feel.
- High-efficiency laminates/modern composites matched to your program
- Optimized sail shape (luff curve, twist, draft position)
- Furling/reefing automation for safe, repeatable trim
- Typical results: more power in light air, control in breeze, longer sail life.
- Righting-moment improvements via ballast placement
- Weight audit to remove unnecessary mass above the waterline
- Mast rake/COE balancing with your sail plan
- Typical results: reduced leeway and heel, quicker, steadier angles.
- Calibrated wind, speed, and GPS sensors with data logging
- Autopilot tuning for straight tracks and lower fatigue
- Load pins/rope tension sensors for repeatable fast settings
- Typical results: accurate numbers, smarter calls, less rig stress.
- Misaligned mast costing you pointing ability
- Biofouled/rough hull slowing you down
- Tired sails and hard-to-reef setups
- Excessive heeling and poor balance
- Unreliable instruments and course keeping
- End-to-end performance audit with clear before/after metrics
- Top-tier coatings, sails, and hardware—installed by specialists
- On-water sea trials and handover coaching
- Service plans to keep gains season after season

A high-gloss, mirror-like yacht finish is more than just aesthetics; it enhances durability, protects the underlying structure, and increases the vessel’s resale value. Over time, exposure to UV rays, saltwater, and pollutants can dull the paint, leading to oxidation and surface imperfections. Proper polishing, buffing, and maintenance techniques are essential to keeping your yacht’s paint in pristine condition.
A bowsprit is a structural extension from the bow that provides additional support for downwind sails such as asymmetric spinnakers and Code Zero sails. By adding a bowsprit, yacht owners can improve sail handling, reduce strain on the rigging, and achieve greater sailing efficiency in light to moderate winds. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for racing yachts and performance cruisers looking to enhance their downwind capabilities.
