RACE YACHT BUILD MANAGEMENT

Rigging and Sails package

Selecting a mast, rigging and sails supplier all need to be considered together. Although the race sails will be manufactured at a much later date, the various designers work together to create a rig and race sail package that functions well and works seamlessly together. Performance Yacht Brokerage can liaise with the various suppliers and provide a report on the latest options available as well and build slots and lead times.

Component Ordering and Installation

Managing a new race yacht build is also very much about the various components that create the racing yacht and her systems. Performance Yacht Brokerage will ensure that the various components, ranging from instruments to interior, are discussed, decided on, ordered and delivered on time to ensure the build process and timeline are maintained.

Integration

A new race yacht build is ultimately a collection of the various contractors, suppliers, and race yacht designers coming together to build your race yacht. A central coordinator is vital to ensure that the entire build team are all well informed and up to date with the latest build developments and progress. Performance Yacht Brokerage is that key coordinator and will continuously monitor the build progress and provide regular feedback on progress.

Commissioning and hand over.

Nearing the end of the build process, the systems begin to come online and the commissioning phase of the race yacht begins. Knowing that Performance Yacht Brokerage has been with the project from the onset and has worked towards the race yacht design brief for the entire build, you can be assured that the race yacht which gets launched and handed over will be the same race yacht that was envisaged at the initial design brief.
