SailGP Technologies is rooted in decades of experience at the forefront of cutting-edge sail racing. Having rebranded from Core Builders Composites in 2022, SailGP Technologies launches to deliver high performance sustainable innovations from sea to space.
At the world-class facility in Warkworth, New Zealand, the team integrates state-of-the-art technology to enhance production efficiencies and increase overall accuracies, while reducing lead times. The in-house quality assurance and non-destructive testing processes ensure consistent high-quality results.
SailGP Technologies produces composite prototypes and tooling and assists customers in developing efficient and cost-effective manufacturing systems. Expertise ranges from high end metal machining and fabrication, prepreg curing and tooling from Aluminium, Carbon Fibre and Graphite materials.
The Warkworth facility houses six dedicated composite CNC machines, such as the MultiCam, 2D Eastman and the CMS Poseidon with a 5-axis CNC high speed gantry machine, and a working area of 18m x 6.2m x 3m and 6m x 6.2m x 3m. The Poseidon machine has been used extensively for large composite tooling, highly accurate appendage programmes, as well as architectural, industrial and film projects.
The qualified technicians at SailGP Technologies are highly passionate with retained knowledge passed from one generation to the next through in-house training and apprenticeships. Coming from a strong heritage in the high-performance marine industry, has seen the team lead in competitive composite racing yacht construction since 2001.
This dedication to design innovation can more recently be seen in the development of the F50 boats used by the SailGP global racing championship, powering the world's fastest growing, purpose-led, global racig league.
“We are excited about the expansion and the opportunities that will come from delivering the same relentless innovation to customers across a range of industries,” says Dave Ridley, Managing Director of SailGP Technologies.
