ABstructure is a company which relies on more than decade of experience of operating on the highest level in International Yacht Racing - from America's Cup to Round the World Yacht Races such as the Volvo Ocean Race, as well working in Aerospace and racing cars environment.

ABstructures provides innovative 'design solutions' for lightweight structures both in advanced composite materials and high performance metal alloys.

Interfacing between naval architecture and production, ABstructures delivers a hands on creative approach to problem solving to achieve the most optimised structural solutions.

Introducing Aerospace technology and methodology  into a marine environment allows ABstructure  to bring new ideas and approaches.

From project brief to concept development and product delivery, ABstructures follows this all the way.

1. • Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand (March 18, 2010)
   

The new Team Origin TP52, structurally designed by ABstructures successfully completed sea trials and structural tests moments after it was launched.

ABstructures completed the structural design of theTeam Origin TP52 in just a few months after receiving the go ahead for the project only last fall.

Due to the tight time frame, the design activities had to be be conducted parallel to the boat being constructed in NZ, optimizing the limited time available.

Using the new 2010 TP52 Rule, the new vessel features a full carbon composites construction.

Design methodologies mutuated from Volvo70 and Open60 programs have been used to get the best optimized structures against new TP52 2010 Rules.
