Ocean Endeavours launch a range of production composite components

With a growing reputation for the supply of custom composite components and systems, such
as keels and rudders, to high profile projects, such as the Open 60 Hugo Boss and 165ft
MITSeaAH, Ocean Endeavours launch a range of production products for performance and
luxury yachts.
Ranging from carbon steering wheels to telescopic masts for navigation lights, from ladders to canting keel systems, each ‘standard’ product is manufactured with the same skill and attention to detail as the company’s custom products, ensuring that accuracy, longevity and reliability is consistently achieved. 
An example of these newly available products is the all carbon ladder for superyachts. Promoted on the Superyacht Docs stand at METS (stand 03.423), it features 570mm wide steps with a wide bottom platform, and can be supplied between 2m and 2.5m in length. 
The use of carbon ensures the ladder is stiff enough to provide a sturdy walkway, yet also keeps the weight low, allowing ease of mounting, dismounting and stowing. The cantilevered design features a simple attachment to the boat making the ladder easy to deploy and stow single handed. Understanding the customisation requirements of superyacht designers and owners, Ocean Endeavours offer the ladder with a choice of finish, incorporating non slip tread
surfaces.
Bringing all areas of the business in line with the company drive for quality and professionalism, Ocean Endeavours also unveils its new brand identity. A contemporary design with clean lines and fresh colours, the logo is featured across all communications tools, including the company’s new website, due to be launched at the end of November.

As well as composite component design and manufacture, the company designs and supplies mechanical solutions, including automated actuation employing electronic and hydraulic control systems.
