Lightweight = Fuel-efficient

• Reduced structural weight

is prerequisite to

power- and fuel-efficiency

• Reducing the weight of

interior joinery and furniture

a key component in keeping

overall structural weight low

More than just veneers over

cores

• True monocoque design

approach

• Major loads carried in

panel surfaces

• Absolute minimization of

support framing and

blocking

Designed and built for rigorous

service• Proprietary techniques for

bonding and finishing

veneers

• Special methods for

fastening hinges and

other hardware

• Stands up to high

G-loads experienced in

high performance craft

First-quality hardware & attachments

Lightweight extruded aluminum

ball bearing drawer slides assure

smooth, rattle-free operation

Solid blocking judiciously placed for

sturdy mounting of appliances

Contemporary or Traditional

Appearance

All veneers and solid woods custom

selected to order. Burls and pomelles

used as required for high-end results.

Wide variety of styles and

finishes

Specially developed proprietary

techniques for lightweight solid

surface countertops

Special thin acrylic solid surface

panels are milled in a grid pattern to

remove approximately 30% of the

material, thereby further reducing

weight without reducing flexural

rigidity or impact resistance.

First quality materials to

specification• Pre-skinned Nida-Core ™ and

Tricel ™ honeycomb substructures

• Two-part marine grade epoxy and

urethane adhesives

• Top-quality veneers

• Durable satin or high gloss

polyurethane finishes to spec

• Acrylic and polyester solid surface

materials

• Lightweight natural stone panels

Custom, Semi-Production, &

Prototyping• Design collaboration and

project supervision by

experienced boat builders

• Fabrication and finishing by

journeymen cabinetmakers

• Skilled installation by highly

experienced fitting crew

• Minimizes disruption of yard

work; maximizes production

through-put

• Services allow prototyping

without disruption of regular

production lines

Cost- and time-efficient prefabrication

off site keeps job running parallel to

Critical Path

Prefabrication in a controlled

manufacturing environment assures

accuracy and high quality control

Modular construction simplifies

installation and ensures efficiency

Prefabricated modules are final

fitted and installed on site

Special lightened blocking strips

are bonded to hull skin and soles

All pieces are polyurethane sealed and

installed utilizing marine grade 2-part

epoxy and urethane adhesives

Ability to accommodate complex

designs and shapes

• Curved fronts, highly shaped

moldings, and other features

of fine furniture design

• Lightweight doesn’t mean

settling for mediocre styling

We utilize the same CAD data that drives

the mills which produce the yacht’s hull,

deck and superstructure tooling

Vectorworks Marine LLC

Espinosa Inc. and Vectorworks Engineering

From that CAD data, we produce our own

orthographic shop drawings and…

full-scale, shop-floor

mock-ups.

For custom work and

prototyping…

shop-floor “copy space”

and full-scale mock-ups

allow for cost-effective

modifications on the fly.
