Spring 2018 round up from Buckley Yacht Design and Composite Manufacturing and Design Ltd

Structural optimisation in vessels is a common procedure carried out at BYD. 

The benefits from analysing and designing laminates in more detail to find the best alternative can mean large gains in other aspects of the design and build of the vessel. 

The Mk II BTC-22 has been made production ready and has been sent off to CMDL to have the frames cut so that the making of the moulds may begin. The BTC-22 was created with the goal of injecting a pocket yacht into the trailer sailor market at an affordable price point for small families, people looking to downsize, and new comers to the sport. 

Congratulations to Kia Kaha and crew for a great race int the Round the Island Race this year. 

It was a brilliant weekend for the Buckley Yacht Designed/CML built B45 "Kia Kaha" as she won line honours, 5th place on corrected in IRC 1 Division and 17th overall in this years Round the Island Race 2017.

The BTC-22 enjoyed a relaxing weekend showing off her new look paint job and branding at Beale Park Boatshow 2017.

BYD (Buckley Yacht Design) appoint Boatwork Ltd as agents for the BTC-22 (Buckley Trail-able Cruiser 22) a 6.8m trailer sailing boat  (Prototype model known as RTC-22).

The B45 "Kia Kaha" which was designed by Buckley Yacht Design and built by CML competed in the Round the Island Race 2016 yesterday. Designed for fast cruising she finished 36th out of approx. 1000 boats and hit top speeds of 18 knots.

Following the huge interest received at the 2015 Southampton Boat Show, BYD are extending the test sail period to allow people to come and see what the new boat is made of.

After sailing it we found it to be exhilarating to sail with the RTC-22 being so responsive to the environment and conditions around. accelerating in the smallest amount of puff. 

The first RTC-22 proto version is for sale for a modest price of £20,990.00, this price includes everything you need to get out on the water and sailing straight away. 

BYD will be presenting the RTC-22 in its finished format from the 11 -20th of September at the Southampton Boat show of 2015.

 

Southampton Hydro Team are progressing well, getting ready for the big Hydro Contest of 2015.

The B42 (Shortened version of the B45) is in need of a new buyer! The vessel is in build in Quedillac, France and is looking for new ownership.

After a successful refit the 65m Motor Yacht Shemara was launched from its ship lift facility at the top of Portsmouth Harbour. Shemara Refit LLP completed the refit in just over three years at the ex Vosper-Thornycroft yard in Portchester.

Minimal Weight, Maximum Class  from Buckley Yacht Design.  Downsizing in every place.

The long anticipated Buckley 45, a fast cruising yacht, is the latest vessel to be built and launched by the family run yacht designers. BYD has long championed the use of wood with epoxy and glass fibre to revive the beauty of wooden boats. But the B45 has a twist as the boat is of a modern design, built in a hybrid wooden composite fashion.
