“Our team has dedicated years to mastering carbon fibre construction techniques specifically for high-performance marine applications. Applying this expertise to Shogun’s innovative designs is incredibly exciting. We understand how to optimise carbon structures for both performance and durability, and we’re committed to building yachts that represent the pinnacle of modern marine engineering.”
– Tomas Halmesmäki, CEO of Ocean Quality Systems
They say it takes a village to raise a child. The same is true when building a Shogun yacht. In order to deliver a first-class yacht, you need a first-class production team.
Based in Jakobstad, Finland, Ocean Quality Systems is a specialised boat builder with extensive expertise in advanced carbon fibre construction and precision engineering. With decades of experience in carbon fibre techniques and composite engineering, OQS has established itself as a leader in high-performance yacht construction with its Ocean Explorer range of luxury performance bluewater multihulls. The company is particularly known for its innovative approaches to carbon composite fabrication and its exceptional interior joinery.
OQS brings extensive knowledge in carbon fibre moulding, vacuum infusion processes, and structural optimisation engineering of the highest standard specifically for high-performance marine applications. Their technical team’s deep understanding of carbon composites ensures optimal weight distribution, structural integrity, and performance characteristics in every yacht produced.
Marstrom Composites has helped develop the keel and rudder of both the Shogun 50 & 43 and are involved in the manufacturing of selected carbon interior details. The rig of the Shogun 50 is also developed and made by Marstrom.
Based in Västervik, Sweden Marstrom can design, develop, and manufacture virtually any composite detail in their autoclave: from tables used for medical proton treatments to high end loudspeaker cabinets and high-performance carbon rigs.
Cape Horn Engineering is a UK based company, best-in-class independent CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) consultancy with clients all over the world. Industry leaders in CFD and marine technology solutions, specialising in performance prediction of racing yachts, sailing yachts, superyachts, motor boats, commercial ships, renewable energy structures and more.
Being industry leaders in performance predictions and analysis, Shogun Yachts is happy to work with Capehorn Engineering for our advanced aero- and hydro CFD optimization.
North Design Services has been part of the design process, providing insights and optimization on sail and rig design as well as aero CFD optimization. This has allowed the design team to dive into detailed design optimizations that lead to large performance gains. Overall, this allows us to predict not just performance but also other behavioral aspects of the boat, assuring we reach the desired balance and sailing characteristics.
