Nowadays the use of numerical simulation in the development of yacht structures is very advanced. Unfortunately however, simulation is often only used late in the process, to check the final configuration for strength and stiffness. What we have done during the development of the Bieker Moth was pushing these simulation methods to the next step – numerical optimization.

Mackay Boats is very excited to get in behind two of the latest foiling boats that offer children through to adults a true “speed on water” experience; the Skeeta and Nikki.
