Innovative naval architect and boat designer

New Zealand based LOMOcean Marine - naval architect and boat designer - offers custom and production boat designs to the global market, tailored to the specific requirements of each client. The result is an ever expanding range of mono-hull, catamaran, trimaran and wavepiercer designs for the pleasure, commercial (ferry, tug, crew boat, work boat etc), military (fast interceptors, patrol craft, missile boats) and super yacht markets (including shadow boats). These designs are developed with the assistance of modern CFD and FEA software and honed in the towing tank and wind tunnel. A passion for innovation has created remarkable ships including stealth military vessels such as the trimarans Klewang and Golok, an 18m tank boat and award winning designs, including Ultimate Lady, a 27m wavepiercer catamaran and the 39m catamaran, The Beast. The radical Earthrace (Ady Gil) smashed the UIM world circumnavigation record for a power boat and Turanor Planet Solar was the first ever solar vehicle to circle the globe. Not all the designs are radical; the conservative motor yacht Black Pearl is a demonstration of the company’s versatility.

Matthias Gibson BDes(Hons) AMRINA Nav.Archit 

Matthias Gibson was born into a family with deep ties to the seafaring industry, including his great grandfather being a former deep sea fisherman and his father looking for any opportunity he could find to sail. It only seemed natural that Matt would grow up inspired by these experiences, eventually pursuing boat design as an academic program at Massey University. After seventeen years of design experience – from high-speed planing craft to super yachts and more – Matt took it upon himself on embarking on this mission professionally; founding Build Boats alongside many successes along the way.

Manta Marine Design

Custom marine design - new zealand, naval architecture - build kit engineering - consultancy - project support.

Naval Architecture Services

Lines plan - weight calculation - structure scantlings - stability - resistance - cfd - sail plan - classification - consultancy.

'Naval Architecture' is a general name for a set of unique and specialised engineering skills used in marine design. We are trained and qualified naval architects. We are a member of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA)

Some typical naval architecture disciplines that we offer:

• Design of the hullshape (linesplan)
• Resistance and propulsion - including resistance with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics)
• Scantling calculations (dimensioning structural parts) - Including FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
• Weight calculation
• Hydrostatics and stability calculation (intact & damaged)
• Calculation of Self Righting / Roll Over Capabilities
• Calculation of Heeling due to using Cranes on vessels and barges - Checking maximum capacity of Crane lifting and reach
• Tank arrangements and optimised loading conditions
• Classification related issues and calculations (CE, Lloyds, BV, GL, MNZ, MOSS, Maritime New Zealand, etc)
• Sailplans and rigging details (for sailing ships)
• Conduction of stability tests (inclinating test)
• Making of stability booklets  

Engineering & Build kit information

Building preparation, engineering & build kits.

When the design is (almost) ready, often is started with the building preparation. Part of that can be a full engineering package from the construction of the vessel. Included in the design normally a construction plan is included with some typical details. Shipyards used to build the ship from this plan and some additional information like a 1:1 scale frameplan. That meant that the shipyard had to do a lot of work on the lofting floor and figure out themselves how every structural part had to be made. These days modern and specialised software can be used to do a lot of that building preparation. Practically the vessel can be build completely in the digital world and in principle the exact dimensions of every part can be designed. Modern CAD/CAM systems using computer controlled routers, plasma, laser and even high pressure water cutters, can cut plywood, foam, aluminum and steel with an accuracy of a fraction of a millimeter. This could be done for temporary building frames or actually all the final parts to be used in the building proces. Guided with detailed assembly drawings the building kit can be assembled by the shipyard. This saves enormous amounts of time on the shopfloor. Also with these computer cut parts the shape of the vessel is very precise and it's much easier to make a fair hull. With a building kit even building your own boat as a private person is much less of a challenge.

Yard Standards & Custom Build Kits

Shipyards often have their own work and construction standards. These yard specific standards can perfectly be incorporated in the building kit. This way the craftsmen on the shopfloor don't get unpleasantly surprized by 'exotic' creations by the designer and the building proces will be smooth and easy. This saves of course a lot of time and money.

A building kit or cutting package can be used for building the hull of a ship but also to prefabricate the interior! There is a lot of different materials which can be used. Just to name a few:

• Composite Cored structures (Foamcore, woodcore)

Every material has it's own requirements in processing but with every building method a building kit of some sort can be usefull. With composite and plywood boatbuilding many times building frames are used, espacially with 'one-offs' or custombuilds. These can easily be made from MDF (medium density fibreboard) which is stiff enough for the purpose and it is not expensive. For plywood, steel and aluminum boats a complete building kit can be provided which contains all the necessary parts to build the boat. On the right side of this page you can see some examples.

What do you get when you order a build kit? Depending on what detailing level is requested by the client a building kit or cutting package can come with the following information:

• 2D/3D detailed assembly drawings with dimensions
• Shopfloor drawings with part identification, position and dimensioning
• Shopfloor drawings with plate expansions and/or folded parts
• Forming information (for example with a roundbilge hull)
• Step by step building strategy plans
• Building frame information
• Plate Nests, optimized for efficient material usage
• Profile reports, overview of used extrusion profiles with type, lengths and end-cuts
• Part reports, overview of all cut parts with information like plate thickness and weights
• Nest reports with specific information (e.g.amount of plates and remnant info)
• Exact weight information and centre of gravity for building sections or in total
• 1:1 scale frameplan plotted on MDF or on Mylar (foil)

Visualization - Animation - Virtual Reality

Manta Marine Design can visualize your ideas, sketches or CAD drawings. The purpose is to give you a better insight and feel for the design and can be very helpful in different phases or stages of a project. Visualizations can be used for creating first concepts, assistance during construction, for sales purposes, comparing different varieties of a design (interior and exterior) or can even be interactive in the form of a virtual reality (VR) model.

Different kinds of visualizations can be made for different phases or details for your project.

• Conceptual renders
• Photorealistic renders
• Basic animations - see example
• 3D Models that can be rotated and viewed by the client in an online environment - see example
• Virtual Reality model with walk-through or fly-through option

Feel free to contact us if you think Manta Marine Design can help you with visualizations.

Meet 8 Designers That Are Creating Sleek, Weather-Proof Furniture for Your Yacht

Posted: June 14, 2023 | Last updated: June 14, 2023

5.-maybe-lead-Beach-Club-4-copia-scaled

When it comes to superyacht furniture, wear and tear from guest use is just one challenge to keeping everything in pristine condition. The harsh conditions of a marine environment, including the 3S’s (salt, sand, and sunlight) pose the biggest trials and tribulations to outdoor furniture, while the fourth S, sunscreen, can really mess up that beautiful designer lounge in the main salon.

The problem is so acute that a number of yacht designers have expanded their portfolios from designing hulls and interiors to creating furniture that will stand the tests of weather and guests. They are using special fabrics, sustainable materials, and creative weaves in custom furniture lines that dress up the beach clubs and salons, rather than making these social areas dowdy after a season. Others are focused on the interior with vibrant designs, unusual shapes, and heirloom-quality woods.

These eight furniture lines all sport unique designs—from stunning starburst tables to lounges that float—but all have the same goal: Letting everyone put their feet up and enjoy the furniture, without the owners having to wonder later how they’ll restore everything so it looks new again.

Oceana by Bannenberg & Rowell

British studio Bannenberg & Rowell’s spring 2023 collection of outdoor yacht furniture was developed in collaboration with Sutherland Furniture and named after the Jon Bannenberg-designed 180-foot yacht Oceana . Made from teak with stainless-steel accents, the 10-strong collection of seating and tables is built to withstand high seas. “The most obvious signature across the range is that combination of a tactile radial junction with a stainless-steel dowelled-mortice and tenon-style joint,” designer Simon Rowell tells Robb Report , who then translates: “This frame is designed to look simple but still took several years to develop with the Sutherland team to engineer it into a viable product range.” An exterior textile and rug range that complements the Oceana furniture is also available from Sutherland sister company Perennials.

Arc by Winch Design

Winch Design’s debut collection with Summit Furniture, called Arc, is a contemporary beach club range made from teak and inspired by the sea and sky. Its signature feature is a laminated teak weave spun between brushed stainless-steel rods to create an arc that echoes the woven rope traditionally used on sailing yachts. The eight-piece range includes a lounge chair, a dining chair, a bar chair, a coffee table, a sun lounge, a bar cart, a dining table, and an occasional table, featuring fully customizable fabric. Every natural detail is brought forward, including the teak grain on top of the coffee tables, which are manipulated into leaf patterns.

IYC + Neal Jones Furniture

British brand Neal Jones Furniture specializes in the creation of fitted and freestanding custom and semi-custom furniture for superyachts and high-end residences. In 2023, IYC partnered with Neal Jones to provide a tailored design service for yacht owners looking to dress their new builds or refit projects with hand-crafted furniture built with the marine environment in mind, from bar stools and foot stools to daybeds and lounges. “Being that one-stop-shop for all yacht purchasers and having people with the expertise in every aspect of yachts is key to our business and delights our customers,” says IYC CEO Raphael Sauleau. “Having a company like Neal Jones Furniture allows us to give our customers all the options they need to fit their yacht in the very best furniture.”

The Nimbus Collection by Coast New Zealand

Suitable for a sun deck, beach set-up, or even on the water, the Nimbus Collection by superyacht supplier Coast New Zealand is comprised of inflatable furniture suited to multiple settings. The lounge, orbit, and chair are available in customizable colors and fabrics made by Sunbrella. But beyond the looks, they are designed to be comfortable, long lasting, portable, and convenient. The air-filled liners are manufactured using fabrics and technology traditionally used for paddle boards or tenders, such as marine grade reinforced PVC with heat sealed seams (rather than glue which melts in the sun.) Marine-grade stainless ‘D’ rings are included for securing the furniture to a deck. The furniture also comes with a USB rechargeable pump and a storage bag made from recycled sails.

The Lounge Collection by Eva Mechler

Award-winning furniture designer and Master Furniture Maker Eva Mechler specializes in made-to-order wooden furniture, hand-crafted at her workshop in northern Germany. The Lounge Collection is made using solid wood left over from the building of superyachts, including European native species of oak, chestnut, ash, and walnut. The first prototypes were made from a sustainable “modified wood” called Tesumo developed by Lürssen Yachts and Wolz Nautic. Conceived as an alternative to teak and selected by the owner of REV Ocean for use on the yacht’s exterior decking, Tesumo is strong, durable, and more resistant to weathering than other woods. Mechler’s collectible art-furniture earned her a place as a finalist for the Smart Yacht Award at the Monaco Smart Yacht Rendezvous in 2023.

Onde by Cristiano Gatto

Driven by a desire to create fully custom furniture that matches his boats, superyacht designer Cristiano Gatto has collated his debut furniture range, called Onde. The catch: It is only available to owners of a Gatto-designed yacht, such as Heesen’s Project Orion, which is due to deliver in 2026 and features Onde furniture on board. The 12-piece range features key items from past projects, each one taking up to six months to build. “I have clients who changed their loose exterior yacht furniture four times in the past six years because off-the-shelf ranges can’t withstand the harsh marine environment,” Gatto tells Robb Report . Made from wood, stainless steel, carbon fiber, and polymeric materials, the range includes tables, chairs, sunbeds, and the most difficult item to manufacture: the basic, unassuming ottoman.

Paola Lenti 2023 Collection

The new indoor and outdoor 2023 Collections from yachting furniture stalwart Paola Lenti was unveiled by the brand during Milan Design Week, hosted at its newly unveiled flagship store. The range is made from eco-friendly materials, such as 1,000-year-old river wood which has been preserved over time by gravel, sand, and clay. There are also outdoor textiles and fine yarns for the interior pieces, all made to be wear-resistant and recyclable.
