the advantages of building in India

Following an agreement between the shipyard Ultramarine Boatbuilders Pvt Ltd and the architect, amateur builders have the opportunity to have their sailing junk built in kits which can be shipped by container. There are many advantages to have your JDP built by Ultramarine:

ECONOMY: Some not negligable savings in material and labour costs can be achieved.

GUARANTEE: Another advantage for the amateur builder is that the shipyard selects the best timbers for the job and the quality is therefore guaranteed.

FLEXIBILITY: The construction can be complete or at various stages, for example:

The HULL KIT NO. 1 Hull Structure (unassembled):

Keel, stem, stern post, assembled frames, bilge stringers and stemson

Centreboard well, transom plate in plywood with or without the solid timber outer layer.

The shipyard Ultramarine Boatbuilders is located on the south east coast of India at Pondicherry where his director, Lionel Mallard, settled with his family after a five year circumnavigation. The shipyard has more than twenty years experience in wood epoxy construction.
