Anchoring is one of the great pleasures of boating, and having the right equipment is essential to enjoying it to the fullest. That is why we regularly recommend and install ULTRAMARINE anchors, renowned for their excellent holding power and the peace of mind they provide at anchor.
The Ultramarine anchor is designed to distribute its weight effectively, which is crucial when setting or retrieving the anchor. This design allows it to reposition itself correctly almost instantly.
Its curved, lead-loaded tip ensures immediate engagement with the seabed, while its hollow shank provides optimal weight distribution. The shape of its base delivers maximum holding power, while its side plates help prevent the anchor from breaking free when weather conditions change.
Retrieval is made easier by the flat pivoting surface at the bottom of the base.
Users are generally delighted with the product, and feedback is consistently very positive.
A key factor in ensuring good performance and protecting your boat’s engine and transmission.
The Modern-Boat team takes particular care of your boat’s propulsion system – an area that is often neglected.
Unfortunately, this part of the boat is all too often cleaned using acid. This makes metals porous, particularly bronze propellers, which lose their strength over the years.
Our experience over many years enables us to adapt the products we use on propellers, as their compositions have been modified to comply with environmental standards. Added to this is the significant rise in water temperature, which makes certain products less effective.
Your boat’s performance and fuel consumption depend on the build-up of fouling on your propellers, IPS pods and other submerged parts.
These are often the cause of mechanical malfunctions, resulting in engine overheating and vibrations whilst underway, which in turn lead to high fuel consumption.
For many years now, Modern-Boat has chosen not to use acid for cleaning propellers and other submerged mechanical parts.
During all our hull maintenance and antifouling operations, the propellers and pods are removed and manually sanded by our technicians. The pod shafts are also cleaned and greased.
We invite you to compare the attached photos showing propellers that were treated one year ago with those that received no treatment beyond acid cleaning. The difference is striking, and the impact on your boat's performance and fuel consumption becomes clear.
That is why we recommend carrying out this procedure once a year.
Boatbuilders cannot always meet your specific requirements or personal preferences.
Our company has already completed a wide range of accessory installations and bespoke projects. The experience we have gained over the years enables us to advise you on your customisation and interior layout projects.
For most people, buying a boat means fulfilling a dream, and once that dream comes true, it should be enjoyed to the fullest.
That is why Modern-Boat and its team are here to help bring your ideas and wishes to life.
At Modern Boat, we put our expertise to work to enhance comfort at sea. Through our collaboration with specialist partners, we offer our customers the installation, replacement and maintenance of gyroscopic stabilisers after the delivery of their yacht.
The gyroscopic stabiliser, a remarkable technological innovation weighing close to one tonne, is now considered essential equipment by many yacht owners. It significantly reduces a boat's rolling motion, making navigation more comfortable, safer and more enjoyable for everyone on board.
Installing a stabiliser after a yacht has been delivered is becoming increasingly common. It allows equipment to be tailored to the owner's needs beyond the configurations initially offered by the boatbuilder, whether the aim is:
to install a higher-capacity model,
to meet budget constraints,
or to equip a yacht that was not originally fitted with a stabiliser.
Depending on the size and capabilities of the boat, we can install one or two stabilisers to achieve the best possible level of stabilisation, provided the available space and technical constraints allow it.
Every installation is unique. It requires extensive expertise, millimetre-level precision and the utmost respect for the integrity of the vessel. That is why we work exclusively with recognised specialists who are trained to carry out these demanding operations.
