Two Oceans Marine Manufacturing engaged RKT for the design of two structural steel brackets that form part of the boom mast assembly on a custom superyacht build. The brief was specific: two brackets, full structural responsibility, drawings ready for the fabricator on a tight timeline.
Engineering brief
The brackets carry combined tension and compression loads from the boom under sail, cycling through a wide spectrum of low-load and intermittent high-load events over the vessel’s service life. We modelled both brackets parametrically in SolidWorks, validated them against worst-case rigging load combinations, and iterated the internal geometry until stress margins were comfortable across the full envelope.
Delivery
The full drawing package was delivered with revision history, material specifications, and dimensioned details ready for the workshop. Both brackets fabricated and fitted without rework on first installation.
