LIGHTWEIGHT COMPOSITE CATAMARANS FROM AVENTURA YACHTS

Modern catamarans have to be light, durable and efficient - even under demanding conditions at sea. For the new Aventura 38 Sport Cruiser, Aventura Yachts therefore relies on fiber composite solutions from SAERTEX. The combination of high-quality materials, technical advice and partnership-based development ensures maximum performance in lightweight maritime construction.

the idea

Aventura Yachts has been developing modern leisure catamarans in Tunisia for over 15 years. With the new Aventura 38 SC model, the goal was clear: the composite structure should be light, strong and efficient to manufacture - because quality and performance are the main requirements of Aventura Yachts' customers.

Therefore, the material requirements were set: high mechanical strength, good drapability for complex geometries and fast and reliable processability in the manufacturing process. The solution: lightweight construction through the use of high-performance fiber composites with 100% SAERTEX reinforcements, processed in a vacuum infusion process.

reinforcing this idea

Together with Aventura Yachts, SAERTEX has accompanied the transition from conventional hand lay-up to modern vacuum infusion - a decisive step for the production of high-performance composite catamarans. The advantages are obvious: higher production speed, consistently high and reproducible quality and optimized component weights.

This change was supported by a precisely matched material system. SAERTEX supplies a comprehensive product solution for the structural design of the Aventura 38 from a single source.

• SAERfix enables the individual layers to be positioned quickly and without additional spray adhesive - a noticeable relief for the shipyard employees.
• SAERflow as an integrated flow aid enables even and accelerated resin distribution.
• Unidirectional (UD) glass fiber fabrics bring targeted strength to structurally highly stressed areas.

1. Weight optimization combined with high strength
2. Easy handling and drapability as well as increased resin flow
3. Reproducible component quality and higher production rate thanks to controlled vacuum infusion

the success story

The partnership between SAERTEX and Aventura Yachts is a successful example of technical cooperation in the maritime composite sector. The materials used enable reliable, fast and flexible production - from structural hull parts and complex small components to sustainable flax components in new prototypes.

The combination of high-quality reinforcement technology and process optimization has made new performance standards possible. The trust in SAERTEX as an exclusive material partner is therefore reflected in every single boat: 100% SAERTEX reinforcements - for maximum performance at sea.

“SAERTEX has supported us throughout the entire development of the infusion process. That's why they are our main partner for fiberglass materials.” - Marwa Ben Azzouz, Production Manager Aventura Yachts
