Build Quality Starts with the Design
Designed exclusively by industry veteran Steve Chapple, Wavemaster aluminium kit boats are designed for builders who want to start strong and build to the highest quality from day one.
Backed by decades of production and kit boat design experience, we know the secrets behind achieving a finish with minimal distortion, and it's not using heavier plate. The result is efficient builds, reduced distortion, reduced rework, reduced hours and boats that reflect the quality and reputation builders want to achieve from the very beginning. Whether you’re building your first boat or running an established workshop, our designs are developed with unrivalled production experience. We consider not just hull performance, but how the boat is fabricated, assembled, and finished in a practical workshop environment. Talk to us about how Wavemaster can help you produce cleaner builds, reduce distortion, and grow a boatbuilding business known for quality and consistency.
