The customer's problem / challenge:
For a luxury catamaran builder, offering maximum comfort and safety at anchor is essential to the customer experience.
This includes, in particular, a mooring system capable of effectively absorbing shocks and boat movements caused by wind and swell, without transmitting unpleasant jolts on board.
The shipyard was looking for a specific Y mooring solution, aesthetically impeccable to fit in with the high-end image of their yachts, manufactured with great rigor, and with a Y connection that would ensure intelligent, balanced distribution of forces. Standard or less technical mooring lines were unable to achieve this level of damping and stretch control.
The Nodus Factory Solution brought:
Nodus Factory Industry developed a custom Y mooring system designed specifically for this high-end builder's catamarans.
The team selected a 24-strand flat polyester hollow braid, renowned for its high flexibility and excellent shock absorption.
The bespoke design created a unique, precisely spliced and sewn Y-connector, which intelligently and evenly distributes stresses across the two mooring points on the catamaran's bow.
Aesthetics have been carefully considered, with an abrasion- and UV-resistant black braid finish, and the integration of matching textile connectors (Dy-Protec® Textile Shackle, T-Bone Connector).
