SD Boatworks worked on a superyacht that required an access solution for the front of the hull to allow the crew to safely clean the windows and carry out essential maintenance work.
The solution needed to make access to this part of the superyacht easier and improve the safety of workers when carrying out these tasks.
A suitable solution for the vessel had never previously been found until the Harken Industrial Access Rail was recommended.

As a lead in to Transpac there is no better way to test your equipment and your crew. This year is truly special give the huge entry list for Transpac. We are pleased to announce that in order to better support the racers making this journey we will be on station in Rainbow Harbor from July 5-13.

Read MoreIt all started in November 2018, the Andrews 77, Ocean (originally Alchemy), was graciously donated by the Feracota family from Chicago. After being trucked to Marine Group Boatworks in National City, members of Dave Servias’s SD Boatworks and Wally Cross’s Infinity Yacht Services helped Cal Maritime begin a month-long re-assembly process. Measuring in at 86’ on the deck, with over 100’ of mast height, this boat serves as an ideal vehicle to propel the Cal Maritime Sailing Team from their successful Farr 40 campaign to an all-inclusive, competitive, cadet-run offshore sailing program.

Read MoreHardly! This is the finished pole end fitting for the A4. We now have two tack lines when we use the code zero. Great work thanks to the team at SD Boatworks.
Read MoreWe are quite sold on this zero so we are rigging a better way to use it easier and more often (hint: furler). Again, the boys at SD Boatworks are handling the rigging and implementation. They had to mill a new Delrin cap, and we love this nice touch they added to it.
Read MoreI approached David Servais at SD Boatworks about a total rigging package: get the mast in fighting shape, replace all halyards and sheet with the latest from Marlow, replace and improve what we could within the class rules. David and Ryan have done such a fabulous job getting this boat simple, light and current. Personally, I could not recommend them higher.
