Here at the shop our CNC machine is cutting right and left hull molds from laminated blocks of balsa. Balsa grows in Central and South America and is considered a weed. It grows very rapidly and is a renewable resource. In 6 to 10 years the tree is ready for cutting, having reached a height of 60 to 90 feet tall and a diameter of 12 to 45 inches.

Goetz latest project is happening off location in Sumerset MA where we are installing a cruising interior in a large race boat.

Falcon is a carbon fiber 80’ Nelson / Marek ILC Maxi. Goetz is custom building an additional head, owner’s stateroom and galley. Our technicians have set up shop with the Goetz Mobile Unit.

Goetz recently shipped this custom retail fixture out for chrome plating. From there it’s on to a high profile retailer in Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic. Click for more images.

A prototype public art display designed by Architecture Research Office (ARO) and built by Goetz Composites adds color and interesting surfaces to Bogardus Plaza in Lower Manhattan. The initiative is part of NYCDOT’s Urban Art Program that brings art to unexpected places throughout the city.

A Hinckley 48 flybridge is coming together fast. The carbon part will reduce weight up high helping to deliver a better ride and increase fuel savings.

Hinckley is a trend setter so you are likely to see more carbon and prepreg resin systems used in high quality production boats.

compositesworld.com - Racing boatbuilder Goetz Composites (Bristol, R.I., USA) on May 25 unveiled its historic restoration of one of Buckminster Fuller’s most iconic structures, the 24-ft/7.3m Fly’s Eye Dome.

Patented in 1965, Fuller created two prototypes of this structure, a 24-ft and 50-ft/15.2m dome. Fuller writes in his seminal book, Critical Path, that “the Fly’s Eye domes are designed as part of a ‘livingry’ service. The basic hardware components will produce a beautiful, fully equipped air-deliverable house that weighs and costs about as much as a good automobile. Not only will it be highly efficient in its use of energy and materials, it also will be capable of harvesting incoming light and wind energies.”  Read on – Image Gallery

We are pleased to announce that The Hinckley Company has chosen Goetz to build and supply the flybridge component of their new Talaria 48. The parts will be built in prepreg carbon fiber embodying both the leading edge technologies, and the highest levels of finish that are inherent in every Hinckley yacht.  By utilizing the same technology we used to build the structure of the BWM Oracle Trimaran that won the 33rd America’s Cup, the flybridge will be lighter and stronger than conventional layups.

The relationship fits perfectly with the Goetz skill set which is focused on delivering the highest quality composite hulls, decks and structures available anywhere in the world today. Likewise, The Hinckley Company has been an industry innovator and has continuously built some of the world’s most advanced and beautiful yachts since the company’s founding in 1928. Seven new T48’s have been sold to date. Find out more about the T48 – hinckleyyachts.com
