Poole: Norco Composites and Pascoe International work together

Poole-based Norco Composites has recently delivered its latest boat to superyacht tender manufacturer Pascoe International, based in Hampshire. Pascoe has chosen Norco as its partner of choice to supply composite hulls and decks for its range of larger Limousine tenders.

Norco customises every boat by using a whole series of unique implants and mould configurations to produce boat shapes specific to each of Pascoe’s customers, while minimising tooling costs. Norco’s capability in manufacturing high quality laminate and pre-preg structures is instrumental in delivering the lightweight optimised solutions which meet the stringent weight requirements. The use of pre-preg ensures the highest quality structure and laminate, while the deck and internal structure is manufactured from carbon fibre for further weight reduction to optimise performance of the vessel.

Mark Northey, managing director of Norco, commented: “Our ongoing and sustainable relationship with Pascoe allows us to approach every boat with a fresh mind, and ensures that the final finished product always exceeds the very-demanding customer’s expectations.”

Richard Watson, CEO of Pascoe International, echoed these comments: “One of the things we value from Norco is its willingness to suggest an improvement to the manufacturing process or materials we use.”
