The Infusion Technique is Widely Used
I got in contact with Sven Akermann about the infusion technique and provided the photos above.
The carbon infusion technique, especially vacuum infusion, is used to create strong and lightweight composite parts.
Dry carbon-fiber mats are placed in a mold and liquid resin is drawn in under vacuum pressure. That’s actually how the infusion technique works.
This process ensures dense impregnation and minimizes air bubbles.
The resin spreads evenly, producing high-quality, lightweight parts with an excellent fiber-to-resin ratio.
Here’s another application of infusion technique using fiber glass: Exclusive: The Making of GEMINI WR880 Hull in 12 Steps.
About Sven Akermann
Sven Akermann, boatbuilder, yacht designer and constructor, began designing and building special carbon boats in 2007.
Under the YSA label, fast racing sailboats and catamarans were developed.
The label grew with several investors into the SAY Yard until the company was sold at the end of 2015.
In 2020, a fresh start followed with an enthusiastic partner and team in Hergensweiler near Lindau, Germany.
Sven Akermann presents a broad portfolio of highly efficient tenders with the c-Ultra boat series. The series ranges from 22 to 55 feet.
The design language is minimalist and exclusive, and customer wishes are gladly accommodated.
All tenders in the c-Ultra series are RIBs.
The fender surround removes concerns about contact and eases docking and undocking.
High-quality Hypaluron fenders provide extra protection on the water, as a system of air chambers makes the boat almost unsinkable.
