Why Build a Tboat
Building a Tboat lets you own a modern, high-performance yacht for less than buying a comparable
new boat. You can spread the cost over the build and progress at your own pace.
Every Tboat features lightweight construction, proven performance and low maintenance. Built and
raced successfully around the world, Tboats are exciting to sail and have a proven record of
winning races.
Lightweight design is one of the biggest reasons Tboats deliver such impressive performance. A
lighter yacht is faster, more responsive, easier to handle and requires less material to build. The
result is a modern yacht that is exciting to race, enjoyable to cruise and economical to own.

How to build a Tboat
A Tboat can be built using a range of modern construction methods to suit the design, your
experience and the facilities available.
You do not need to be a professional boatbuilder,
practical skills, patience and a willingness to learn are important.
Comprehensive construction drawings and a proven build methodology guide you through the project, from setting up the structure and building the hull through to fit-out, systems and final assembly.
Guidance is provided on suitable materials, construction methods and the recommended build sequence. CNC-cut parts can also be supplied or produced locally to improve accuracy, reduce
setup time and make construction easier.
Where required, specialist components and parts can be sourced to help simplify the build and keep the project moving.
What we provide
- Full Construction drawing set including building frames and mould details
- Extensive materials and parts lists
- 2D CNC cut files ready for cutting, 3D available on request
- Comprehensive build process including moulds and setup
- Deck fit-out and rig/sail drawings
- Foil building options
- All the help you need via email for the build and commissioning process
Which Tboat to build
The right Tboat depends on how and where you plan to sail, the size of yacht you want and whether your priorities are racing, cruising, trailering or a combination of these.
The Tboat range includes fast trailer yachts, exciting club racers and larger performance cruising yachts, with each design offering a balance of speed, practical accommodation and enjoyable
sailing.
Consider the number of people you expect to sail with, your preferred level of comfort, where the yacht will be kept and the time and budget available for construction.
