Superform Bending plywood, do you know about it?

Gavin came in his closed van to collect a few sheets of our Superform bending plywood.



Gavin was a past customer and knew that this was possible.

The sheets are 8mm thick and sized 1220mm wide and 2440mm long.



Superform bending plywood is imported into South Africa by CKD Boats c c

Its also waterproof to a certain extent.

Contact me for pack lot prices.

Didi Mini Transat by Dix Design

One day Dudley Dix called me and asked would I be able to CNC a set of his Didi Mini Transat design bulkheads?


My reply was positive and we took it from there.

Royal Cape Yacht Club, that is Cape Towns Table Mountain in the background.


The bulkheads were followed later by the hull and deck skins, by then I was building two of these boats to orders from customers.

Check the finish, this is a 6mm thick hull skin only but as we used the best quality 6mm okoume marine plywood available, it was a five ply, the surface is stable and takes paints well.

Contact me for details on this and other Dix Design boats.

Boat building materials

This Dix 43 aft cockpit pilot saloon yacht was built by Andre, he sourced quite a lot of the interior materials such as bending plywoods and exotic veneers from CKD Boats cc.

Click on the images to enlarge them


We send congratulations to Andre and on a job that looks really top class.


The boat is now on its first voyage, this one will be by road transport.



All the best Andre and have a good trip.
