An adapted gangway

Customise your gangway!

Non-slip grey with a choice of designs as standard, finished with a white paint to ensure long-term protection of the carbon fibres against UV rays, but it can also be produced in any RAL colour shade, with a logo and the name of your boat screen-printed on it.

You can choose the size, add teak cladding, stanchions with handrails, or opt for the Smart Lock locking system.

The castors are heavy-duty, with stainless steel rings for fixing the integrated pantry, and the lyre is made of anodized aluminium.

Ubi Maior ball bearing blocks

Designed for all types of cruising yachts, the YC pulleys manufactured by Ubi Maior and distributed by Nautex meet the highest standards of design, strength and versatility.

Each component is manufactured by machining and no structural parts are cast or moulded, guaranteeing outstanding load capacity and longevity.

Available in diameters from 40 mm upwards, these ball-bearing blocks can be fitted with a choice of traditional mechanical connection (shackle) or textile connection (dyneema).

The Jiber reel from Ubi Maior

The Jiber furling system manufactured by Ubi Maior and distributed by Nautex is remarkable in several respects.

The sail can be attached to the forestay using 2 systems: small straps with a T-bone, or a zipped sleeve. In both cases, the jib can be put in and taken out much more quickly than with conventional furling systems.

Not having aluminium elements around the forestay means we save over 30kg compared to the conventional system, which may not seem like much but those kilos count for a lot, especially when they’re up top!

An added benefit is better upwind performance thanks to reduced drag and drift near the leading edge of the jib, allowing the boat to make more headway and sail faster.

As well as being able to adjust the halyard tension at any time, the Jiber’s small dimensions allow larger sails to be used with one reef.

No need to choose between the performance of a tuff-luff or the ease of a furler, here you have the benefits of both in a single system.

Perfect for refitting a boat or fitting out a new yacht, fibreglass composite steering wheels have a number of advantages over the carbon version compared with the stainless steel steering wheels found on production boats:

  • A much better and more comfortable grip on the helm, thanks to the larger shape and cross-section of the helm
  • Excellent grip, no need for leather for a pleasant feel
  • Less inertia, no oxidation, no maintenance
  • The performance of carbon at a fraction of the cost
  • Choice of helm colour to match that of the boat
  • A complete range: diameter 700 to 1700

Refit with fibreglass wheel on Bénéteau Sense

A change of steering wheel on this Bénéteau Sense yacht with a white fibreglass composite model which is more in keeping with the boat.
The weight is 2 to 3 times less than with the standard stainless steel wheel steering system, which results in less inertia of the steering system when the autopilot is in use, especially as all standard boats nowadays have 2 steering wheels. Depending on the sea conditions, the pilot will operate in a jerky manner and will therefore suffer from the inertia of the steering system, the lighter the bars, the less the pilot will tire.
The grip of the tiller is much better and much more pleasant due to the shape and the larger tiller section (excellent grip, no need for leather to have a pleasant feel).
Available in 4 different models: Y Elegant, Y Sport, 3-spoke, 5-spoke.
