How are RM Yachts built? It’s a question that has often been asked, and we did our best to answer it in this video.
Martin Lepoutre, General Manager, and Edouard Delamare, head of engineering team at RM Yachts, together explain every single step of our building process. What makes us different from other yards, in what extent what we do is somewhat unique, how do we use plywood, how we get the best of this material? An immersive movie which will tell you everything you need to know! Still want more?
Please visit our website and we will be delighted to arrange a private tour of your atelier.

See you soon in La Rochelle!

Proper marine plywood is extremely resistant to delamination and in the time I remember the wood was even boilproof for several hours . This is how aircraft were once constructed and the resin glues are very strong .

Composite hemp sheets and resin are the future I believe.

We are trying to advance the hemp growing and usage here in America if there’s anyway to help please contact us

Will an impregnated plywood hull last as long as a fibreglass hull? Does impregnated plywood suffer osmosis? Is the ply marine grade or hold some special characteristic? What happens if you get hull damage and reveal the ply cross section.. - Will it become water sodden and delaminate? How would you repair damage? Would you just use glass and epoxy? Is the use of ply panels a compromise with respect to design cases where you would normally like to have compound curves? Is a boat built at your yard in July as strong as a boat built in December with respect to resin cure?

@@PaulAnthonyDuttonUk Will an impregnated plywood hull last as long as a fibreglass hull? Yes. Impregnated plywood is as durable as fiberglass. Does impregnated plywood suffer osmosis? No. Osmosis only concerns polyester resins. You can’t have osmosis on impregnated plywood. Is the ply marine grade or hold some special characteristic? We only use marine-grade plywood. What happens if you get hull damage and reveal the ply cross section.. - Will it become water sodden and delaminate? There’s no specific risk of delamination. Wood deterioration only occurs after a (very) long exposure to water. How would you repair damage? Would you just use glass and epoxy? Yes, just fiberglass and epoxy. And add another small piece of impregnated plywood if needed. Is the use of ply panels a compromise with respect to design cases where you would normally like to have compound curves? The use of ply panels is not a compromise. It’s ruled by design guidelines: hard chine, elevated forefoot, etc. Is a boat built at your yard in July as strong as a boat built in December with respect to resin cure? There is no difference. We work in a temperature & hygrometry-controlled environment, so that the resin mechanical characteristics are maintained at their best level.

I am leaning more and more towards RM. Question: are the plywood linings in the deck also imbedded with resin, or are they 'just' plywood?

@MrNiceGuy442 Жыл бұрын

I guess by the end everything is embedded, in this phase only the joints

@anatolianisenka3422 Жыл бұрын

I wonder what kind of model this yacht is, what brand and how much fit 😏🤠🤳

@andreveen5656 Жыл бұрын

What is the hull gets damaged by sharp objects? Water will be absorbed by the wood, it will expand and swell. The structure will be deformed. So what the experience with scratches and damage to the hull?

@TheIdontcarewhat Жыл бұрын

I believe the hull is wrapped in a few layers of Kevlar.

Great method of construction but not new or uncommon. I have been building yachts with plywood and epoxy since the early 1990's. These boats are still as structurally sound as the day they were built.

Ракеты напечатанные на 3Д принтере, неоднократно дешевле обычных. Если бы на 3Д принтере научились печатать мега яхты, удалось бы сбавить их цену, раз в 5 или 10!
