Set sail with strength and style
Lightweight, high-performance core materials for modern sailing yachts.
Whether designed for racing or leisure, sailing boats benefit greatly from lightweight, high-performance composite structures. By reducing weight while maintaining strength and stiffness, Diab’s structural core materials help optimize everything from hulls and decks to keels, bulkheads, interiors, and rudders.
With excellent fatigue resistance and impact durability, our materials are engineered to perform under the unique demands of marine environments. Their closed-cell structure resists water absorption, while low resin uptake and special grades with prepreg compatibility enable efficient and reliable production.
Diab’s cores are also highly formable and easy to machine, allowing for smooth integration across complex shapes and delivering clean surface finishes. This design flexibility is complemented by a wide range of finish options, allowing builders to achieve both performance and aesthetic control.
To simplify manufacturing, Diab offers advanced kitting services that ensure every part fits precisely in the mould. This saves time at the yard and reduces material waste, maximizes weight savings and resin use, and consequently lowers the carbon footprint.
Whether your focus is speed, comfort, sustainability, or all three, Diab provides the core solutions to help you deliver the next generation of sailing yachts.
