The Chantier de l’Arsenal team, renowned for its maritime expertise, joins forces with the Yacht Concept design team to realize your most ambitious projects.

We believe in the importance of teamwork and shared passion to create 100% custom-built, lightweight, high-performance catamarans.

9 years after founding his first company, Yacht Concept, Laurent DA ROLD joined forces with François ASSELIN to create Chantier de l’Arsenal. Passionate about the naval sector and innovation, he puts his years of experience to good use in bringing his customers’ projects to fruition.

After working for several companies in the nautical sector, Thierry JANSSOONE joined the Chantier de l’Arsenal as workshop manager. For the past 5 years, he has been sharing his expertise and ensuring the proper organization of the workshop and the quality of its constructions.

The three composite operators at the marble post manufacture infusion composite parts. The first step in the marble process is to gel-coat the parts with a contact sealing fabric. The second stage is draping and infusion. At the end of this process, the composite parts are ready for custom trimming.

The six composites operators in contact, and their team leader, carry out lamination operations, applying the different layers of fabric according to technical drawings, to ensure the strength and lightness of the structures. They also carry out the corniering, a key step aimed at reinforcing the junctions between the parts, thus guaranteeing the rigidity and durability of the whole.

Composite carpenters are involved in various stages of boat assembly. They are in charge of the installation and precise adjustment of structural and trim components. They also assemble the frames, as well as shimming and aligning all composite elements, especially the bottom planks, in accordance with hull tolerances.

The three composite finishing operators, supervised by their team leader, are involved in the final phase of manufacturing to guarantee the aesthetics and surface quality of composite parts. They finish all coatings, ensuring surface regularity and correcting defects in appearance. They apply gelcoat, carry out painting operations, then proceed with sanding, polishing and buffing. Composite finishing operators contribute to the impeccable appearance of hulls, decks and fittings.

The chandlers are responsible for fitting and installing all the fittings required for the proper operation and ergonomics of the ship. At the end of the assembly line, they position winches, blockers, windlasses, cleats, rails, covers, handrails and other deck equipment with precision.
