The pictures are Dave and Wendys,we supplied their Didi mini transat kit and shipped it to them in Arizona,USA,they may have just launched it? CKD? The letters CKD are well known to anyone in the fabrication trade,be it furniture or even motor cars,CKD is the shortened version of 'Complete Knock Down',the name seemed to fit what we do,its worked well too,if CKD Boats is entered into a search engine such as Google,CKD Boats pops up all over the place,we have become well known? The Spanish company mentioned below thinks so anyway?

An example of CNC cutting technology applied to mass production in an industry, is that of pre-cut boats.
This concept makes use of CNC routing to develop metal and plywood kit boats, comprising of CNC cut design components such as bulkheads, backbone and skin panels. These members interlock into each other egg-crate fashion, and the joints are then epoxy filleted and glassed.Machines such as DIGICUT are used offering CNC routing and the cutting files for these components comprise info in dxf format.
This technology enables a layman to build a boat from scratch by simply assembling the various pre cut components in a pre-defined order. Also the use of CAD programs to ascertain the interlocking members and accurate CNC cutting results in a rigid form capable of withstanding the pressures applied by the sea on the outside as well as loads applied from the inside.
