Formula Marine Aluminium Mast
Mengi Yay will feature a sailing system that includes aluminium masts with Park Avenue custom made booms as well as a standing and running rigging package. Formula Marine will construct the mast at its specialist aluminium facility in Holland before its experienced team spend time in the Turkish shipyard to install and test the systems.
In addition to the 43m Mengi Yay Ketch, which is expected to be delivered in summer 2012, Formula Marine is the preferred partner to deliver packages for a further two Mengi Yay superyachts, likely to be 50 metre plus sailing yacht projects requiring aluminium masts.
Commenting on the new contract, Formula’s Head of Sales Wim Mooiweer said: “Formula Marine has vast experience working with Turkish shipyards and has previously worked closely with Mengi Yay on an aluminium package for a 45 metre schooner. The confidence that Mengi Yay has in Formula is reflected in this new three boat deal and we look forward to further developing our relationship with them.”
