MEL Composites, a technology and materials supplier, announced its role in powering the ZEN50 yacht with advanced composite materials. The company supplied all the necessary materials, including carbon fabrics, vinylester resin, and structural cores, as well as providing technical support throughout the project. MEL Composites collaborated closely with the yacht builders to ensure the expected mechanical properties and precision in the infusion process. The company’s experts led the infusion process, ensuring superior quality and efficiency. The ZEN50 yacht, designed by Julien Mélot, is a revolutionary zero-emission vessel that uses carbon fiber and structural foam core materials to achieve superior sailing performance while minimizing energy consumption. The construction process included the integration of the outer skin, core, and inner skin in a single resin infusion process, resulting in a lighter structure with reduced production waste. MEL Composites’ technical expertise was crucial in testing all materials and validating the lay-up to ensure a robust and lightweight vessel.
Driving the ZEN50 yacht is MEL Composites’ innovative composite technologies, harnessing cutting-edge materials for maximum performance and efficiency.
