Hechthout® from Allin Bruynzeel

French company Allin Bruynzeel, manufactures high-end plywood and provided all the board for this project (approximately 1,000 sqm)

The Atlantic Cruiser 60 is constructed with Hechthout® plywood (100% Okoume).
In this type of construction, it is essential to have a panel of high quality validated by certification.

Hechthout® plywood is a homogeneous product made from thin veneers carefully selected and assembled using an adhesive weatherproof.

The essence of Okoume wood is both strong and lightweight.

The plywood was used to achieve the main structure of the vessel, including the hull, deck, bulkheads and interior.






The use of plywood has several advantages:

  • The boat’s weight is 30% to 40% lighter - compared to conventional materials used in shipbuilding, such as aluminium or glass polyester.

  • The decreased weight also makes it possible to increase the load capacity and improve the engine power required, which induces greater autonomy.

  • The accuracy of the digital cutting facilitates assembly by gluing the panels require no mechanical attachment which reduces construction time and the overall weight - ensuring perfect rigidity of the structure.
