Lagoon F450 teak stairs cover

The owners of this Lagoon F450 wanted to extend their teak deck to the fly-bridge stairs. Not an easy project, and we had to think about a specific methodology to solve, but everyone’s happy with the result. First we made mock structures of each of the stairs — 6 of them in total –, soContinue reading “Lagoon F450 teak stairs cover”

Lagoon 450 teak front cockpit

Normally the Lagoon 450 doesn’t come with a teak front cockpit. However, this owner wanted one matching the teak he had in the back. We started this project from scratch a couple of weeks ago. The initial structure is built in our workshop. Final adjustments and polishing are made on the yard. This is aContinue reading “Lagoon 450 teak front cockpit”

New galley on an 19m power boat

Last February, the German owners of m/v Jua, an 18,8m power boat, asked us to make numerous improvements and hull work, including a complete refit of their galley, furniture, topside and appliances. Of course, being a power boat, they didn’t have the usual constrains we have to cope with on our sailing boat clients. InContinue reading “New galley on an 19m power boat”

Refit of a Lagoon 450F

Motor yacht refit

The owners of m/v Jua wanted to spend some time in Licata for a long list of work, including hull treatment, propelling systems and some inside work also, not the least being the complete galley renovation. As for the hull, there is nothing more satisfying than a before/after view. We renovated the hull portholes, andContinue reading “Motor yacht refit”

Lagoon 450 bulkhead inspection

2020 was the year the Lagoon 450 “bulkhead-gate” got public. Basically, it seems many units in this range are affected by a flaw which would break the plywood front bulkhead. As there are over 1000 units of this range sailing all around the world, this topic quickly became the hot potato between Lagoon dealers andContinue reading “Lagoon 450 bulkhead inspection”

Mahogany and maple office table

This project was both a challenge and a statement. The shape was designed to make the perfect office table, and we wanted it to be both luxurious and solid. We wanted to achieve the same result as one can remember with the classic Riva Tritone’s of the 60’s. This implied a multi-layered transparent varnish whichContinue reading “Mahogany and maple office table”
