Weight was a key consideration throughout the design of the TAG 60, with carbon centerboards and a carbon lifting platform for the tender also engineered by Gurit to develop the most efficient laminate specification for the required performance. Of course, an efficient structural design and specification is all very good on paper, but the builder then has the task of ensuring the build process adheres to the plan.

At TAG Yachts, quality control is integral to the business, with regular checks conducted on the shop floor and samples tested in professional laboratories to ensure the Gurit designs are followed and CE standards met.

By keeping the whole of the production process in-house, from the laying of the first fibre in the mould, to the final painting and upholstery fitting, TAG Yachts has complete control over the process and quality.

In addition, the company maintains close relationships with its suppliers, such as Gurit, to ensure that practices are current and developments are pursued so that the final product remains at the top of its game.

“Gurit is the ideal composites partner for me as a designer and TAG Yachts as a builder,” continues Young, “they offer the most comprehensive product range and are always at the leading edge of material technology.

"This, combined with a proven depth of engineering knowledge, creates an unbeatable combination for any composite project. More than just a materials supplier, Gurit offers service and support levels that are second to none.”
