China’s largest fibre glass composite recreational fishing boat delivered

-

The largest fibre glass composite recreational fishing boat in China, “Qiong Sanya Yuxiu 88351”, was put into use in the Wuzhizhou Island tourist area of ​​Sanya, a resort city and the southernmost city on Hainan Island, in South China.

The yacht is 38.38 metres long, 7.80 metres wide, has a full-load displacement of 217.3 tons, and a design speed of 15 knots. It was developed and built by Weihai Xigang Yacht. When selecting #glassfibre composite as the main structural material, #AOC’s high-quality boat manufacturing gelcoat/resin system was adopted.


The hull surface is coated with AOC Neogel NPG 8373 series gelcoat, which not only gives the vessel a beautiful exterior but also provides excellent water and weather resistance, serving as the “first line of protective screen” for the hull’s long-term safety. The main hull structure uses AOC Palatal A400TV series resin, providing robust structural support; Atlac 430 ACT series resin is used for the impermeable layer, ensuring the hull’s durability and safety in complex sea conditions with its excellent chemical corrosion resistance and high dynamic load-bearing capacity.


Promising industrial landscape:

The ship is built using negative glass fibre composite moulds: the hull, deck, superstructure, and other components are formed separately and then assembled. This process not only allows for sleek hull lines to reduce drag, but also provides great flexibility in size and shape, offering a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics.


In 2022, Hainan Province introduced a series of policies, taking the lead nationwide in establishing a complete policy system for the development of recreational fishing. It was within this promising industrial landscape that Weihai Xigang Yacht undertook a 38-metre glass fibre composite recreational fishing boat project for Hainan Wuzhizhou Tourism Development Co., Ltd.


Weihai Xigang Yacht, a major composite material boat manufacturing company in Northern China, boasts strong technological capabilities. AOC China, as a professional boat material solutions partner, has extensive experience in rapid prototyping and anti-permeability systems. This powerful cooperation has created the benchmark boat model #QiongSanyaYuxiu 88351,” supporting the high-quality development of the glass fibre #composite boat manufacturing industry.

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share What Is Going Wrong in UK Plastics Recycling? Biffa shut its Sunderland plant. Viridor walked away from Avonmouth and Rochester. Yes Recycling Fife collapsed within a year. All three were backed by major investments All three had buyers lined up for recyclate All three are now offline This is not bad luck It is bad structure Over the next four posts I will break down: 1. Why cheap virgin imports are undercutting UK recyclers 2. How weak policy enforcement is fuelling market failure 3. What volatile PRNs and cheap exports are doing to infrastructure 4. Why demand from brands is softer than their promises Let’s start with the first: **Cheap Virgin Resin = Broken Economics** Virgin PE, PP, and PET have been flooding the global market. New capacity in Asia and the US has driven prices down 30 to 40 percent. Meanwhile, recycled plastic costs more to produce in the UK than it can sell for. We are asking UK recyclers to compete with materials made in places with – ...

Today's KNOWLEDGE Share “Robotic 3D printing can compete with traditional boatbuilding”, Simone Barbera and Mattia De Santis, Caracol V2 catamaran was printed in Italy at Caracol’s production center and headquarter in Barlassina, near Milan, with a Heron AM 400, Caracol’s robotic Large Format Additive Manufacturing (LFAM) platform. The lattest was specifically configured with a 7-axis robotic arm mounted on a rail, enabling the printing of parts up to 10 meters in length. How did the collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol come about? Simone Barbera : The collaboration between V2 Group and Caracol originated from a shared vision to revolutionize boat manufacturing through sustainable innovation. V2 Group, a Spanish-company specialized in nautical design and engineering, is seeking to develop electric vessels manufactured sustainably. On the other hand, Caracol, leader in robotic advanced manufacturing technology, had had years of experience working with Large Format Additive Ma...
